Waiting for comments before writing some quick specs If I remember correctly I heard some GlobaLeaks people discussing the idea of rebranding TBB a long time ago but eventually they concluded that it was generally undesirable for potential whistleblowers to have GlobaLeaks-specific bytes sitting around on their storage devices.
Yeah, in past we've been brainstorming making a customized TBB for public uses. But we concluded it was not a good idea.
Instead in that context of use it's: - specifically for private use/distribution - in a context where the download of TBB is anyhow filtered/censored from torproject.org
so we must provide anyway a copy of the TBB binaries to the end-user, as he cannot download it.
That means that we must anyway keep an updated mirror of TBB binaries for 2 specific target language versions.
Also, it seems like whatever private distribution mechanism you plan to use for a modified TBB could also be used just as well for a standard TBB, or Tails.
Using TBB "as it is" does require the end-user to make a copy/paste of the .onion URL, because .onion are not mnemonic, and that step must be done every time.
We made user-personae and use-case scenario simulation directly with the relevant people dealing with end-users before coming to that conclusion.
That step (copy/pasting URL) has been considered a too complex step to became acceptable, so the reason to deliver a customized TBB with a custom home-page pointing directly to that Globaleaks site.
| Have you considered just distributing Tails USB sticks along with the .onion address on a piece of paper?
We've considered it, but it was outside the logistically doable opportunity, as far as i understood.
Sounds like the most "apparently obvious" solution for our community, are not so easily applicable in that context of use by speaking with the end-users.
