Here's the text of the dialog (some of the text hyperlinks elsewhere): First Start of Tor Browser (AnonDist) - Security vs Usability Trade-off In the stock Tor Browser configuration, JavaScript is enabled by default for greater usability. The Tor Project provides a rationale for this decision. The producers of Tor Browser decided the security slider setting to be set to "Standard" by default. Quote Tor Browser Manual: You can further increase your security by choosing to disable certain web features that can be used to attack your security and anonymity. You can do this by increasing Tor Browser's Security Settings in the shield menu. Increasing Tor Browser's security level will stop some web pages from functioning properly, so you should weigh your security needs against the degree of usability you require. This popup question does not restrict your freedom to change security slider settings at any time. Responsible for this popup question is Tor Browser Starter by Whonix developers. It is an usability feature, which might break in future. Therefore the user is advised to verify that the security slider has the expected setting. Please donate! Preseeding: It is possible to avoid this popup question by preseeding the answer to it. For that create a file /etc/torbrowser.d/50_user.conf with the follow contents, if you want to answer "Yes". tb_security_slider_safest=true Or if you want to answer "No". tb_security_slider_safest=false Technical Details: This script is: /usr/bin/torbrowser Function: tb_security_slider All this would do is copying file /usr/share/torbrowser/security-slider-highest.js to /home/user/.tb/tor-browser/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Browser/profile.default/user.js. cp /usr/share/torbrowser/security-slider-highest.js /home/user/.tb/tor-browser/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Browser/profile.default/user.js Set Tor Browser Security Slider to Safest? [No] [Yes] My read is that whonix dev(s) do not want to contradict the choices of the Tor project, even if controversial (I see good arguments on both sides). Whonix dev(s) are also probably (I am guessing here) tired of getting questions about these settings every day. I'll paraphrase: "Here's the shotgun. Use it wisely. Know where your limbs are at all times." B PS - why I continued to see the bug where the setting and behavior were different in -14 vs. -15 I don't know, but I do have a more recent version of TB in -15, so maybe that's it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Upstream intended the security slider to be set at Standard and the behavior to be Javascript mostly on. However, some TB versions (I experienced tihs under whonix-14 at least) has an issue, where while it defaults to the "Standard" setting as per upstream, TB acted as if set to the "Safest" setting. This appears to be a TB bug.

No, it is frankly not harsh enough. Available developer time to finish implementing the half-baked changes is irrelevant. The correct way to do this would have been to wait until the changes were fully baked (i.e. until Proposal 101 was fully implemented, including per-site security settings), rather than half-assing them, pushing them out the door, then three months later thinking about maybe getting around to finishing up sometime in the future after higher priority tasks are done. > [...] this was not something a normal user should do. Well, I don't know how things *should* be, but an awful lot of TBB users have found these controls essential. I personally have had to explain to multiple non-technical TBB users in meatspace how to re-access the NoScript widget, which they all have found essential to using TBB. Regardless of available developer time and priorities, breaking a feature many users find essential without any warning, not giving any explanation of how to access that essential feature, and then forgetting about un-breaking that feature for months is simply piss-poor project management. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: [qubes-users] Re: whonix tor browser customization
panina: Well, personally the Tor browser is largely useless with default settings. I'm actively avoiding recommending Tor Browser to non-technical users right now since it breaks webpages. Almost a majority of them. Afraid I'm not following. The default settings are the most compatible. Making it easier for non-technical users to play around with them would only result in more broken websites. It's gone from being a superb way of hiding your traffic, usable by everyday surfers behind government firewalls. The privacy-aware crowd has been accused of being elitist, and this move is in line with that accusation. Making TB safer/easier for non-technical users seems the opposite of elitist to me? But the politics of TB isn't what this mailing list is for. True; I think security discussions are OK though. (?) Since I can't seem to hack the whole template/DVM scheme, I think I'll just have to go back to my own tweaked firefox setup. I guess I can put that behind a whonix gateway, should go some way towards being anonymized... Personally, I run the default Whonix templates and manually set the Security Level on Safest every time I start TB in a DVM. If a site needs a lower level, I'll open it in a separate DVM instance. It is a pain, but I didn't want to chance a customized prefs.js etc. making my browser unique so I hadn't investigated further since Whonix 14. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Saying there is no interest is ignoring the fact that Tor Browser is maintained by a team of 10 people for four different operating systems. Tor Browser is useless (and actively harmful) if users are confused about which settings they should change (due to careful design choices) and which settings they shouldn't change. The Noscript and https-everywhere buttons on the toolbar allowed people to tweak the settings easily, and this was not something a normal user should do. If someone really needs to change these settings, then they can go through a more complicated procedure for accomplishing that.
