TBB 3.5rc1 try #5

Ok everyone, we've got another build for TBB 3.5rc1. You know what they say: 5th time's a charm! Please test this. The New Identity and localization bugs should both be fixed, though reports from Windows and Mac will be helpful: https://people.torproject.org/~linus/builds/3.5-rc-1-build5/ Again, barring issues the plan is to get this on the blog in a few hours, and if there's not a riot in the comments there, we'll turn around and release 3.5-stable a couple days after that. Thanks! -- Mike Perry

Sherief, when testing HTML 5 videos, do you do anything other than go to youtube and click the first video you see? You don't change any settings or anything, right? -tom On 12 December 2013 09:23, Sherief Alaa <sheriefalaa.w@gmail.com> wrote:

Tom, You need to join the html5 video player beta test first and even after that not all videos will work. See: https://www.youtube.com/html5 -- Sherief Alaa pgp 0x8623B882

Really? I have never need to specifically enable it. Some videos don't automatically work, but if you go to share->embed, and get the embed URL, they do. But most videos I try work for HTML5 without enabling. Curious.

Our warning page says so (bullet c): https://www.torproject.org/download/download#warning Some videos actually work after this.

I did not know about this. It's a lot better to remove the "v" variable and use /embed/VideoID instead of joining the html5 test because it will make every video play. For example: This video won't play even if you join the html5 test page. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjK1lUA6mGk but using embed it will work: https://www.youtube.com/embed/gjK1lUA6mGk Thanks! -- Sherief Alaa pgp 0x8623B882

It looks like https://duckduckgo.com/ and http://3g2upl4pq6kufc4m.onion both use JS code that calls canvas.getContext("2d").getImageData(). Search for getImageData in https://duckduckgo.com/d1050.js. I guess someone is trying to determine if font smoothing is being used by the browser; I can't say why. But that is what is triggering the prompt. -- Mark Smith Pearl Crescent, LLC http://pearlcrescent.com/
