Tor's hidden services let users publish web sites and other services without needing to reveal the location of the site. Individuals also use Tor for socially sensitive communication: chat rooms and web forums for rape and abuse survivors, or people with illnesses. Journalists use Tor to communicate more safely with whistleblowers and dissidents. Non-governmental organizations NGOs use Tor to allow their workers to connect to their home website while they're in a foreign country, without notifying everybody nearby that they're working with that organization.

Groups such as Indymedia recommend Tor for safeguarding their members' online privacy and security. Corporations use Tor as a safe way to conduct competitive analysis, and to protect sensitive procurement patterns from eavesdroppers. They also use it to replace traditional VPNs, which reveal the exact amount and timing of communication.

Which locations have employees working late? Which locations have employees consulting job-hunting websites? Which research divisions are communicating with the company's patent lawyers? A branch of the U. Navy uses Tor for open source intelligence gathering, and one of its teams used Tor while deployed in the Middle East recently. Law enforcement uses Tor for visiting or surveilling web sites without leaving government IP addresses in their web logs, and for security during sting operations.

Our old screen had way too much information for the users, leading many of them to spend great time confused about what to do. Some users at the paper experiment spent up to 40min confused about what they needed to be doing here.

Besides simplifying the screen and the message, to make it easier for the user to know if they need to configure anything or not, we also did a 'brand refresh' bringing our logo to the launcher. This is one of the most important steps for a user who is trying to connect to Tor while their network is censoring Tor.

We also worked really hard to make sure the UI text would make it easy for the user to understand what a bridge is for and how to configure to use one. Another update was a little tip we added at the drop-down menu as you can see below for which bridge to use in countries that have very sophisticated censorship methods.

The proxy settings at our Tor Launcher configuration wizard is an important feature for users who are under a network that demands such configuration. But it can also lead to a lot of confusion if the user has no idea what a proxy is. Since it is a very important feature for users, we decided to keep it in the main configuration screen and introduced a help prompt with an explanation of when someone would need such configuration.

As part of our work with the UX team, we will also be coordinating user testing of this new UI to continue iterating and make sure we are always improving our users' experience. We are also planning a series of improvements not only for the Tor Launcher flow but for the whole browser experience once you are connected to Tor including a new user onboarding flow.

Cool Thanks. Even faster now! Yea I would stay away from. It is not necessary IMO. As far as Copywrite Trolls, It would be a good opportunity for me to teach a jury how to legally download content using the Fair Use Act as law in the courtroom! You have to represent yourself in court to be able to talk to a jury btw. Awesome thanks! Most torrent clients accept the info hash too to add a torrent. You may find that a little bit easier to do.

BUT what I want to do is have 'magnet' one of the options in the 'applications' list; the intent is to click on the magnet and have it download the link to a script which does some processing on the link and ships the result to another machine for downloading via CLI.

I've tried copying over the relevant line in a working firefox prefs. It's been so long since I tweaked around with the firefox applications that I've forgotten what's involved in creating a new one.
