Comment (by arthuredelstein):

 Another variant on this idea is to have some kind "doorhanger"
 notification with a banner or otherwise-shaped crowdfunding ad. Here's
 what a doorhanger notification looks like:

 [[Image(http://cdn.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/australis-ui-
 tour-1.jpg)]]

 We could give it any shape/size and put pretty much any HTML content
 inside it that we want.

 On the plus side, a doorhanger would still be visible to people who have
 changed their Tor Browser startup page to something other than about:tor.

 On the minus side, a doorhanger is perhaps more intrusive and annoying.
 But we could set it to only appear a limited number of times.

 What do you think, O wise people with good taste?
