#2289: check.tpo should tell users that only their browser is configured to use
Tor

Priority: major | Milestone:
Component: Tor Check | Version:
Keywords: | Parent:
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
Right now, when accessed through Tor, [https://check.torproject.org/
check.torproject.org] tells users “Congratulations. You are using Tor.”.
This message really means that the browser that is displaying the message
is using Tor; it does not mean that other programs on the user's computer
are using Tor.
It would be more correct to tell users “Congratulations. This browser is
configured to use Tor.”.
