 More than once, I have had multiple browsers open (in this example, let's
 say both Tor Browser and Firefox due to their similarity) and have mixed
 them up, for example logging into accounts or entering information I
 intended to keep compartmentalized only transmitted over the Tor network.
 In situations where OPSEC is important, such a mistake can be very costly
 indeed.

 This led me to give some thought to the idea that the Tor Browser should
 be more visually distinct to prevent this type easily committed user error
 that can compromise privacy and security in potentially disastrous
 situations. At present, the title bar and onion logo are the main
 distinguishing features that allow a Desktop user to know which
 environment they are working in. In my opinion, that's not enough. Is
 there anything more that can be done to customize TorBrowser's UI?

 Any thoughts or ideas about this?
