GeKo:

content blocking for .onion domains)

security control redesign proposal
This week:

Landed time jittering in Nightly. Dealing with fallout.
Worked on why MinGW won't run. Thought I had reproduced it not
running, then it ran!
Seems related to graphics (Still)
I'm going to try to flip off the 2 graphics prefs, and run the tests
in TC, and see if I can get consistency.
I need to write up a wiki page about what (exactly) we block with
fingerprinting protection.
x64 build in TaskCluster - GeKo, based on your latest work: go for
it, or hold off? [GeKo: Go for it. I think the clang thing is cool but
there is so much to do that is left that I see it as a plan for the next
esr or when we switch to the regular release cycle or maybe for Tor
Browser 8.5]
Something to think about: Which is more valuable to do first: a
proxy bypass test harness for mobile or for desktop? [GeKo: If it's a
"we'll work on that in Q3 2018"-thing then I think mobile would be good
as we should have our alpha out by then and could use this test harness
for ensuring there are no serious things like proxy bypasses on mobile,
which is the platform I suspect will have more of those issues than
desktop right now.]
The light at the end of the Timer Fuzzing tunnel is starting to
appear, so I want to start thinking about the 'next big thing'
igt0:
Last week:
- #25126, update the code to use torbutton git repo and to work
on Firefox m-c.
- #25013, make it work as a feature extension and update the
code to work on m-c
This week:
- Since we are following the feature extension approach I need
to update the tor button proposal.
- preparation for the Rome meeting.
- Try out tor button in the firefox mobile
