Yes, I should be clear about this. I am interested in the issues related 
to the Tor Browser, since the network level issues are already very well 
studied. For this project, only the Tor Browser is being considered.

I suppose, then, that I should call it the "Tor Browser Friendliness 
Scanner," but I didn't give that much thought to the name. Sorry about that!
