Hello,
here is another onion-related UX improvement proposal. We still don't have a plan for how to concretely fix the onion naming issue, and we recently released next gen onions so names just got bigger. Ideally we should start experimenting with solutions sooner than later (also see https://blog.torproject.org/cooking-onions-names-your-onions).
I think a local-solution akin to bookmarks makes sense to start with, so I opened a trac ticket today about encrypted bookmarks on Tor Browser: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/24310
Please let me know if you are aware of firefox addon projects that do encrypted bookmarks that we could use or start basing our work on.
Cheers!
Hello George, Hello List,
I'm currently working on a Uni project where we tried to implement 3 of the solutions suggested in the article you mentioned below. I implemented the bookmarks idea (2.5). You can find the code here:
https://github.com/heddha/OnionPetnames
I implemented it as a webextension, not as part of the native bookmarks. The entries can be exported and imported; the exported file is aes-encrypted with a password; I used the cryptojs-library for that. The import function has its bugs, as a webextension closes itself automagically when another window (e.g. to select a file) is opened; I used a workaround that's very dirty, maybe someone has a better idea?
I'd be very happy if this helped with the problem!
Kind regards,
heddha
