The reason I am reaching out to you is I am I am interested in creating a client side plugin for the TOR browser so that people can use the client side encryption safely and privately, and without fear. Since scripting is disabled in TOR, with good reason, I want a plugin that is blessed by the TOR project as open and safe for encryption.
Any leads on where to get started are greatly appreciated.
“Scripting is disabled in Tor” is not an entirely correct statement. The Tor *Browser* disables scripts via NoScript; this provides the ability to selectively enable scripting on sites you trust. However, Tor itself is agnostic to what you use it for. If you write an application that can talk to a SOCKS proxy, it can be pointed directly at Tor with no need to interface with the browser.
