As changes to the security slider are persistent across re-launches of
TorBrowser could we get an indicator that displays what the current
security slider level is?
Its tedious to have navigate to the security slider settings every time to
check especially if you change this setting a lot for different sites.
I mocked up some examples where the the TorButton color changes from green
to yellow to red? Perhaps red, yellow green is too dramatic?
Maybe something more sublte might be to vary the saturation of the green
color on the Tor button? Brighter green = higher security.
Or maybe a small letter beside the TorButton? Or a combination of both? or
something else entirely?
It would be helpful to see at a glance what level the Security Slider is
set to.
