#6042: Rate limit 'new identity' clicks? -------------------------------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: arma | Owner: tbb- | team Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Medium | Milestone: Component: Applications/Tor Browser | Version: Severity: Normal | Resolution: fixed Keywords: tbb-usability, tbb-newnym, tor- | Actual Points: client, tbb-torbutton | Parent ID: | Points: Reviewer: | Sponsor: -------------------------------------------------+------------------------- Changes (by lunar):
* status: new => closed * resolution: => fixed * severity: => Normal Comment: The “New Identity” button in Tor Browser will give a popup asking if users want to actually close all their tabs and all, so in some ways this is already rate limiting, but more importantly, Tor Browser is not using `NEWNYM` anymore (instead its using SOCKS authentication) therefore its not limited anymore in how frequent an identity change can happen. So, closing. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/6042#comment:6> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
