[tor-talk] Anonymity & HTTPS Everywhere Observatory

2012-01-07 Thread Joe Btfsplk
Have any recommendations from Tor Project been issued regarding the new? 
options in HTTPS Everywhere to use their "SSL Observatory," where 
certain info is transmitted to them?


Now there's one more item for TBB users to make a decision about that 
could compromise anonymity.

Nothing official yet. We ship HTTPS Everywhere 1.2.1 which does not
include the SSL Observatory code.

The HTTPS Observatory code is in 2.0developmentx releases, see
https://www.eff.org/files/Changelog.txt.

Currently, when installing the 2.0developmentx release, the first prompt,
after installation and restart of firefox, is to decide if you want
to opt-in to the SSL Observatory collection (which does transmit via
tor). The default is opt-out.

Well, when I installed TBB 2.2.35-4, the HTTPS Everywhere version is 2.0 
dev 4.  Possibly the version updated along w/ any other extensions, on 
1st start of TBB 2.2.35-4?  But, that's what I have & I'd never seen the 
pop up  about the Observatory before now.
