Hi all, i would like to propose some usability improvement for TorBrowserBundle for Windows, in order to make it more usable.
Reduce to 3-clicks the requirements to use TorBrowserBundle on Windows. Today the Tor Browser Bundle require the user to make several action before using it that can represent a stopping-issue for unskilled and uncertain users. Especially the user require to: - dealing with the concept of "extraction" Really dumb users doesn't know what file compression is, some doesn't even know what file size. - dealing with a decision of "where to extract". That relate to interacting with the system and a really dumb users fear doing actions for which he don't know the consequence. In doing this the user have to do several clicks and choices. There are a lot of users that "are not even able to install firefox". They fear to damage the computer in doing some actions for which they don't know the consequence. I'd like to propose a new simplified way of using TorBrowserBundle as follow: - User Download the software - User click on TorBrowserBundle.exe - A nice splashscreen show to the user - A progress bar (below the splashscreen) inform the user that Tor it's initialing - Extracting to TorBrowserBundle Directory ...OK - Starting Tor...OK - Initialing Tor Connection... OK - Starting Firefox... OK - Then the browser show up to the user. - The browser show at first page : - useful information about Tor - inform the user about the newly created directory - include the default CheckTor page By using that approach the user will not have the feeling of no "technical" decision has to be taken by the user in order to use Tor, no stopping-fear of breaking something, no compression/extraction concept to be understood. The user the next time that want to use TorBrowserBundle will not need to enter into the Installation Directory but will always be able to start the software from the same file he downloaded That way it would really be a 3-clicks step for the user to use Tor Browser Bundle: - Click on download link - Accept download - Start the software What do you think? -naif _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
