No, we don't build our own Firefox yet. I've been resisting adding "Tor's firefox" to the list of software we maintain and build every release. However, yes it may become worthwhile to build our own Firefox, and integrate Chrisd's patch. > on the other side, I've mixed feelings regarding the possible switch > from firefox to chrome or any other browser but if this will help > spreading Tor, I'll more than gladly welcome it I have mixed feelings as well. Chromium/chrome has a nice sandboxing model, is very fast at rendering, and in general is a nice browser. It's new enough that by implementing some api's for us, we can integrate torbutton functionality into it far easier than the current reverse engineering we have to do with firefox. Alternatives could be like torfox and torora, where you just build the browser from the start with Tor in mind. -- Andrew Lewman The Tor Project pgp 0x31B0974B Website: https://torproject.org/ Blog: https://blog.torproject.org/ Identi.ca: torproject *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
