Hi everyone! Here is my status report for February 2023.
At the beginning of the month, I continued improving the profile directory patch of Tor Browser [0]. Then, for the rest of the month, I kept polishing tiny details in the browser and in our build system. I am very satisfied with some changes, such as the one to display the commit hash Tor Browser has been built from in about:buildconfig [1]. I also sent a patch to Mozilla to generalize the browser name on that page [2]. I also sent a patch to prevent the network ID computed by Firefox from being persistent [3]. Another couple of tasks I worked on were fixes and improvements on the system font normalization patch [4], and I tried to fix the reproducibility problems with RLBox [5].
Best, Pier
