It really doesn't remove confusion. How often does a user scroll to the very bottom of a webpage? The text will rarely be seen by those who should be reading it. I think your links to the Tor Project website at the bottom of the TorBrowser home page ("What Tor does", "Users of Tor", "Installation Guides", ...) are probably there with best intentions, but I can see this facilitating the confusion because users don't see a distinction between the legitimate Tor Project website and the TorBrowser website. It would incorrectly legitimise the TorBrowser website. I'm curious - for what reason(s) was the TorBrowser started? If the leaks mentioned earlier were known with Dooble, why was it chosen for the project? People use Tor to protect themselves; it would seem that the choice to use Dooble didn't have users best interests in mind. I did a brief check but didn't determine the answer - is perrymikey (http://sourceforge.net/users/perrymikey) the same as mikeperry (https://blog.torproject.org/blogs/mikeperry)? _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
