Comment (by gk): Replying to [comment:15 intrigeri]: > FTR, Tails' "Unsafe Browser" is basically Tor Browser, with Torbutton disabled and a scary homepage. It would be nice if there were still a hidden way for us to disable Torbutton for that browser profile. I see. I'll keep that in mind and I guess we could make a hidden pref available or something. > Otherwise, we'll have to ship binaries for another browser, which will make our ISO and upgrade delta significantly bigger. In order to plan Tails work on this topic, I need to know whether it'll still be possible to disable Torbutton somehow, and if not, I would be very grateful to learn what's the timeline is here, e.g. whether the plan is to ship this change in Tor Browser 8.5. Thanks in advance! Please let me know if you need additional info from me to answer my questions :) We didn't plan to have the option of disabling Torbutton. But we can try to make that happen. I doubt we'll have this ready for 8.5. I mean we probably could but I think we should have some more time to test this, in particular as there are downstream projects that might be affected by this. But this should land in alphas definitely way before we start the esr68 transition. So, my current plan is to have this in Tor Browser 9.0a1, which should get out end of March/begin of April. FWIW: you might be interested in #28044, too. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/10760#comment:16> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
