[ux] Tor Configuration Dialogue User Study Update

[Linda Naeun Lee]

Sajolida:

We put our participants in three simulated censorship environments. We gave
them tasks at specific websites. E1: websites were blocked. E2: websites
and tor public relays were blocked. E3: websites, tor public relays, and
hard coded values of the bridge addresses in the configuration dialogue
were blocked.

We have discussed the possibility of automating the proxy configuration or
having it more out of the way, very, very extensively. But we have
accounted for deployability in our design, and avoiding changes to the
interfaces which would require work for Tor developers if they are not
willing to do it. But yes, we agree that proxies should be greatly
de-emphasized. We only showed the first clickable prototype. We have had
many iterations since (but will only update with bigger milestones).

I'd be open to more communication. We already have specific, IRB-approved,
and funded plans for our next steps though. I don't have plans to go to IFF
(as of now, at least).
