This would be in my opinion the single most important development that came so far out of the NSA controversy!
If they can somewhat manage to keep the user experience not complete disappointment this will be the biggest steps forward to a broader privacy adoption.
All those tools such as PGP, TrueCrypt, VPNs, have completely failed to reach beyond a bunch of paranoid geeks. Mozilla has the key towards achieving a mass scale adoption.
Implementing this would most likely at least double the current amount of TOR users, making this a complete nightmare for the NSA and their associates.
- Amadou 13y agoI agree. What Tor needs is basically the same thing that encrypted email needs - a wide-spread and dead-simple user interface. If Mozilla were to incorporate a "Tor Browsing Mode" analogous to "Private Browsing Mode" that "just worked" and didn't leak data, then Tor use would explode. Even just 0.1% of firefox's userbase would make a huge difference.
- polymatter 13y agoor just incorporate Tor into the "Private Browsing Mode" so users don't need to choose between them. Need a big notice to explain that "Private Browsing Mode" is now slower, some sites won't work correctly etc. along with the current notice.
