UX team meeting notes, July 5th

Hello, Thanks to everyone who made it to yesterday's UX Team meeting. We’re looking forward to seeing you all again in a week’s time on July 12th.

Joydeep's Monthly Status Report for June 2022
by Joydeep Sen Gupta 05 Jul '22

05 Jul '22

Hello everyone! This is my monthly report for the month of June. In the last month I have finished all documentation updates to the Tor Browser Manual for the upcoming 11.5 release. The new updates to the documentation include information about the new Bridge-moji feature, HTTPS-only mode in Tor Browser, Connection Assist and changes to the bridge UI. I wrote a post on the forum [0] to recruit more volunteers for testing the Connection Assist feature. We have now moved our cdr.link/zammad instance (Telegram user support channel) [1] and I worked on some migration related tasks [2]. Across our support platforms, we received a number of reports of Tor being slow (due to the ongoing DDoS issue), a good number of requests of unlisted obfs4 bridges from users in regions with active Tor censorship and a few bug reports for Tor Browser for Android. That is all for the highlights from the last month, following are the stats from our user support platforms: ## Frontdesk Timeline : 01 June - 30 June 2022 Tickets: new: 48 open: 13 resolved: 256 Breakdown of number of RT tickets received with respect to operating system: (Note: This includes tickets where the user mentioned the operating system or it was evident from the issue they were running into and/or enclosed screenshots.) Windows - 13 macOS - 3 GNU/Linux - 2 Android - 10 Breakdown of most frequent tickets (at least 3 RT tickets): 1. 109 RT Tickets - How to use Tor Bridges in Russia. [3] 2. 59 RT Tickets - Private Bridge requests. This is not related to the .ru censorship but requests from Tor users in China, Iran, etc. [4] 3. 4 RT Tickets - "Tor is very slow" (ongoing DDoS) [5] 4. 3 RT Tickets - Bug in rendering webpages (on Tor Browser for Android) [6] 5. 3 RT Tickets - "Proxy Server refused connection" (Tor fails to bootstrap) if link from other app are opened in TBA [7] ## Tor Forum Most popular topics in the Support category (in terms of no. of views): 1. "Tor is much slower latterly than it used to be" [5] 2. "Choppy video playback with Tor Browser Flatpak (Tor Browser Launcher)" [8] 3. "Tor Relay low traffic and keep disconnecting randomly" [9] 4. "Download the latest (Tor Browser) version via curl or wget" [10] 5. "Tor Relay disconnects automatically" [11] Thanks, -- Joydeep [0]: https://forum.torproject.net/t/help-us-test-the-new-connection-assist-in-to… [1]: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/community/support/-/issues/40083 [2]: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/community/support/-/issues/40084 [3]: https://forum.torproject.net/t/tor-blocked-in-russia-how-to-circumvent-cens… [4]: https://support.torproject.org/censorship/connecting-from-china/ [5]: https://forum.torproject.net/t/tor-is-much-slower-latterly-than-it-used-to-… [6]: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/fenix/-/issues/40216 [7]: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/40536 [8]: https://forum.torproject.net/t/choppy-video-playback-with-tor-browser-flatp… [9]: https://forum.torproject.net/t/tor-relay-low-traffic-and-keep-disconnecting… [10]: https://forum.torproject.net/t/download-the-latest-version-via-curl-or-wget… [11]: https://forum.torproject.net/t/tor-relay-disconnects-automatically/3561

Nina's Monthly Status Report, June 2022
by nina13＠riseup.net 05 Jul '22

05 Jul '22

Hi, everyone, This is my Status report for June 2022. As usual, my focus in June was on supporting Russian-speaking users of Tor Browser on various channels: Telegram, IRC, and email. 1. User support Overall: 537 tickets were successfully resolved! - Telegram channel (@TorProjectSupportBot): 407 - Email (frontdesk@tpo): 130 The majority of requests were censorship-related - bridges and troubleshooting around them. But there were issues with TB not working on Windows 10 and proxy server bug [1] 2. Migration The migration to the new cdr.link instance happened at the end of June [2]. I tested the new one final instance after it became our main one. So I shared my experience of 5 months of using the cdr.link for tech support [3], which was positive. During the discussion, a few good ideas came up - to use the tag system from the start and to communicate with the users that we deleted all the previous data, so they need to re-share background info with us. So now, this channel is published on the Tor Project website [2] and is open to any user regardless of the language. 3. Hackweek Taking part in Hackweek, I started to gather useful information on the countries with a high risk of censorship events, the work I plan to continue.

Marco's monthly status report, June 2022
by msim 05 Jul '22

05 Jul '22

Hi, here's my monthly status report for June 2022 First, as it was my first month, I had to set up a Windows debug environment for S131 MinGW WebRTC work. For the pluggable transport bundle in tor-browser-build, I finished (hopefully, it's in review now) the relevant merge request [1]. During this, the now legacy Windows expert bundle was removed, which resulted in a small patch to tor-launcher [2], and also a bug was fixed with Go 1.18 building on macOS [3]. Finally, for S131 work, I met with Tom Ritter and got access to Mozilla's Try server to help me sort out MinGW issues faster :) [4] (NB: I think this link requires a valid login to people.mozilla.org, and the relevant commit request ticket [5], is marked as confidential) In July I'm planning on having the compilation issues for WebRTC under MinGW resolved, and begin debugging issues at runtime. Cheers, Marco [1] https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser-build/-/merge_re… [2] https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/41039 [3] https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser-build/-/issues/4… [4] https://people.mozilla.org/p/msimonelli [5] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1777230

PieroV's Monthly Status Report, June 2022
by Pier Angelo Vendrame 01 Jul '22

01 Jul '22

Hi everyone! Here is my status report for June 2022. At the beginning of the month, I finished reviewing, reordering, and improving our patch set [0], as part of the work for S131. Then, I merged other changes I had worked on during the past months: the offline manual is now a thing, and we also merged the new mechanism to deal with the .securedrop.tor.onion domains. With it, we could remove HTTPS Everywhere from the desktop version of TBB. All these changes are available in Tor Browser 11.5a13. Some other minor changes I have been working on will be available in the next release (possibly, the first stable of Tor Browser 11.5). The latest issues I have been working on are about fonts. We want to improve script support in Tor Browser [1], at least on Windows and Linux. macOS will have to wait because we found an issue with bundled fonts [2], which turned out to be an upstream problem [3], for which I proposed a patch to Mozilla. Please, let us know if the pages in your language are not rendered or rendered incorrectly in Tor Browser. Finally, the last week has been hackweek at the Tor Project. I joined the project to improve support for pluggable transport in Tails. Thanks, Pier [0] https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/commits/tor-br… [1] https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/30589 [2] https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/41004 [3] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1774413
