Hi everyone, here's what was on the pad:
Document that sparked the discussion; The document proposes changes to the
Tor Browser toolbar: https://share.riseup.net/#a147BiCUXfeCQ3ezzgFkag
Proposed changes:
- place security slider in the toolbar
- circuit display/control in the toolbar (I think the buttons should all
be functional and not mix informational buttons)
- place no script icon in preferences, not toolbar
- move network settings configuration into preferences (I think this is
a bad idea, this should be easier to access)
- change the onion icon into a "tor learning center" (although I think
we do need to educate users, just changing the use case of a very important
button makes me nervous)
Discussion points:
- what should we put in the tool bar vs in the preferences?
- division: tab specific settings in toolbar, global settings in
preferences
- division: most used things in toolbar, less used things in preferences
- how many buttons should be on the tool bar? in what order?
- I think 2-3 buttons max
- order from left (farthest away from center) as least important, most
right as most important (because it's most convenient to click things
closer to the center)
- the buttons in the toolbar should be functional, rather than
informational
- What do people use often and not?
- no script icon: we don't want people to use it a lot, but unknown how
much they do
Tickets to make (and who should make it); use #tbb-usability and #ux-team:
- how we should decide what to put in toolbar (Linda)
- what we should put in the toolbar (Linda)
- what order we should place it in the toolbar (Linda)
- getting the right icons for the buttons (Linda)
- where exactly is the best place for the buttons, or the worst place
(e.g. the (i) one which nobody notice) (Samdney)
- an "adjust security" button/drop-down could incorporate NoScript menu
functionality (Arthur)
- Change "medium security" so that video is click-to-play under http but
not https (Arthur)
- Indicate security slider is global (Arthur)
