New description: Onion addresses are hard to remember and with prop224 they are even harder, [https://blog.torproject.org/cooking-onions-names-your-onions yada yada]. One technique that people are using to remember their onions are local browser bookmarks. That's a pretty secure way to do it actually, with the biggest drawback being that the bookmarks are stored long-term on your computer which is a problem if your computer gets compromised. One way to improve the situation would be to be able to encrypt your bookmarks (a bit like a password manager) so that attackers without your password are not able to retrieve your list of onions. Some extra features that would be cool to have: - Some sort of deniability where attackers are not able to see if you have any stored bookmarks if they don't know your password. - Extra storage for client authorization credential for those onions. - Even better this wouldn't be a separate addon, but just an enhancement over the current bookmark system of firefox, so that people don't need two understand two UXs. I'm not sure if there is already an addon that does what we want to do here, but perhaps we could find something. -- -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/24310#comment:1> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
