Update source interface instructions for Tor Browser 8.5 #4454
Comments
Note that the user has to click the "Shield" icon to access the security settings. |
FFS... it's not just the position, it's a whole other icon—and no longer the Tor Button icon. Really, really stoked with the new design... but the moving-target of Tor UI stuff has been a kick for us to keep on top of. 😈 |
Bigger picture tho, I adore the new implementation—because it's far more clear and easy to get one's head around, for non-techie folks. Will make our lives a lot easier and work towards keeping Sources safer, I suspect. 😃 @huertanix @zenmonkeykstop @eloquence Wd be good to review these changes against the TL;DR "Keep yo'self safe" page text we've been working on as a side project. |
Put another way the idea is to rewrite this rule |
hey @drewmassey - yep that is the correct place to edit to move the bubble (the bubble div class is only used in this one place iirc). The other thing we should do as part of this issue is updating the text in the bubble and the icon. Since as pointed out above by @eloquence, the security settings we want the user to modify actually got moved to under the shield icon here: So the instructions in the bubble should also be updated to:
|
So it seems a little tough to get the pointer to align directly under the shield icon without crowding the right margin. Is this screenshot visually acceptable? Also wanted to confirm that the desired behavior is not contextual on version of tor... i.e., that this warning will now be out of place for tor < 8.5. Finally, the developer docs might benefit from calling out that you have to disable proxy for calls to 0.0.0.0 if you want to run locally. Should I open another issue or is it ok with the team to slip a mention of this into |
Those are good points @drewmassey. I think we should drop the pointer and just ensure the popup's proximity to the "how to set it" link (we could add a relative div around the warning text, and move the absolutely-positioned bubble content into that). I also agree that we should mention how to use Tor with the development server in |
Hey @drewmassey thank you so much for picking this up! We've had some ongoing usability issues with this item that had been in the process of being tended to... so if you don't mind, I'd love to see those get bundled into this! Nothing major, just including the shield icon and copy edits to reduce the bulk of the text on the bar. None of this (¡awesome!) pointer-alignment stuff will matter, if nobody clicks on it—and... yeah. Anywho, I'm locked into a funding deadline for the day, but can post recommendations here, tomorrow. Could that work for you? I can tell you now tho, that the Shield icon will go to the right of the text w/in the purple bar—that the line text will likely be shorter, and that the "x" to close the bar will also go away. @redshiftzero @eloquence Do those things work for you both to keep this ticket in-scope, while also addressing the low-hanging fruit from the other purple-bar Issue? |
I generally prefer to keep tickets tightly scoped, but if @drewmassey is game to get some tiny design tweaks in along the way, we can re-scope. |
@eloquence Since a much broader "fix" is in the works yet a low priority atm to the problem my suggestions addresses, I'd prefer to squeeze-in those tiiny bits of scope creep here, if you're ok with that. @drewmassey Pleased to meet you—and delighted you're also doing the Font Awesome removal! Thank you for joining our fun little party—I in particular, am delighted to see some frontend luv given to our Source users. <3 |
@ninavizz Cool, please propose a concise set of proposed further tweaks, and we can see if we can get them in at the same time. :) |
Guys, the "Security Slider" no longer exists—so the text I see in Drew's screenshot of the flyout, is still incorrect and misleading. Unless it's been updated w/o a screenshot. As promised above, I am in my office to submit recommendations for this, so per Jen's ask am doing that in a separate ticket (that I will cross-reference, here)—but would prefer that ticket get merged into #4462 for this. The changes are minimal, but important for basic usability and source safety. |
Description
Tor Browser 8.5 moved the onion icon to the right of the URL bar:
Comments
The point of the bubble used to direct the user to the Tor onion icon. We should move it to point to its new location in TB 8.5.
