Ultimately, we hope to integrate full Tor Browser features in Firefox. There are many potential solutions. For example, enabling some features by default and providing options for other features in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/private-browsing-use-firefox-without-history Private Browsing Mode]. We can also consider creating a WebExtension for using Tor features. | |||
We need a lot of research and experiments to support the decision-making for the final solution. However, the clear short and mid-term goals are: | |||
* '''Improvement in Fingerprinting Resistance''' | |||
** make fingerprinting resistance more user-friendly | |||
** minimize Web breakages caused by fingerprinting resistance | |||
** conduct a browser fingerprinting analysis research project to help us figure out the best defense strategy | |||

* '''Proxy bypass testing framework for Firefox''' | |||
* '''Design the Tor proxy prototype for Firefox''' | |||
