Hi everyone! Here is my status report for February 2022.
This month I continued working on the Tor Browser connection preferences. I was also assigned the related changes on the about:torconnect page. All the updates are on the merge request (tor-browser!254 https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/merge_requests/254). As you can see, we are taking care of every detail 💫! And we will continue working on it also in March.
Another change I worked on is the HTTPS-only mode (tor-browser#19850 https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/19850). With it, HTTPS-Everywhere will not be needed anymore. However, we want to keep .tor.onion aliases working. Therefore, recently I worked on a replacement for this extension (tor-browser#40458 https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/40458). I will continue working on it in March.
Finally, I reviewed some merge requests (the 91.6 rebases and torbutton!72 https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/torbutton/-/merge_requests/72 to show IPv6 addresses on circuit display) and worked a little bit on Tor Browser tests.
And that is all for February 🙂.
Thanks, Pier
