This project and Tor Browser without Tor

[fjorgyn]

This project shares many goals with Tor Browser development. Tor Browser can easily be set to not use Tor by setting a few preferences in user.js:

// Disable proxying
user_pref("network.proxy.socks_remote_dns", false);
user_pref("network.proxy.type", 0);
// Disable TorLauncher extension
user_pref("extensions.torlauncher.prompt_at_startup", false);
user_pref("extensions.torlauncher.start_tor", false);

Wouldn't it be a good idea to combine the efforts in some way? Are the projects really that different?

Tor Browser includes some extensions - see here - while this project suggests some here.

TBB has major releases based on Firefox ESR, while this user.js can be used with different browsers.

At least the following two examples didn't seem to gain any traction:

• [tor-talk] Firefox hardening
• #17718 (About:config values need changing) – Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki

It would be good to at least have an easy way to compare the settings between this and Tor Browser's settings.

Hopefully some day.
