Comment (by cypherpunks):
>The only indicator to the user that they have been deanonymized is the
torbutton changes from green to red, which is easily missed.
It's very major indicator. If it's red then better not to start using
Torbrowser even.
>for people who do not allow TB access to the Tor ControlPort* this button
is red anyway
If Torbrowser used as standalone app that not starting Tor and have no
configured ControlPort then you can to remove Torlauncher extension
(remove `tor-launcher at torproject.org.xpi` file before starting). Indicator
should be green after that as long as Torbutton enabled.
