I don't know if I'd say that... I think TorBrowser could be improved by integrating Tor+Vidalia+Firefox into a single app. This may also go towards fixing the user confusion with having several windows running. Or imagine a VirtualBox where all network traffic from the VM was automatically sent over Tor.. because Tor was embedded in it's network emulation. Of course those are the huge, monolithic cases. Take simpler apps like gpg, ssh, putty, pidgin (god help us), git, svn. While tracking upstream would certainly be a problem, having a statically linked tor and a modified binary that sent everything over Tor I think would go a long way towards getting average users using Tor safely... without ever having to say the words "Proxy" or "Socks" to them. I guess the problems to overcome would be to figure out a way to track upstream easily and identifying use cases where people would really benefit from specific tools, to focus on those first. TorPidginOTR seems like it'd be a likely candidate... unless there's a non-libpurple OTR-enabled chat client. -tom _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
