[tor-project] PieroV's Monthly Status Report, February 2023

[Pier Angelo Vendrame]

Hi everyone!
Here is my status report for February 2023.

At the beginning of the month, I continued improving the profile 
directory patch of Tor Browser [0].
Then, for the rest of the month, I kept polishing tiny details in the 
browser and in our build system.
I am very satisfied with some changes, such as the one to display the 
commit hash Tor Browser has been built from in about:buildconfig [1]. I 
also sent a patch to Mozilla to generalize the browser name on that page 
[2].
I also sent a patch to prevent the network ID computed by Firefox from 
being persistent [3].
Another couple of tasks I worked on were fixes and improvements on the 
system font normalization patch [4], and I tried to fix the 
reproducibility problems with RLBox [5].

Best,
Pier
