Feature #7419
Rename Tor Browser in camouflage mode?
0%
Description
The name “Tor Browser” is pretty suspicious, and can be seen in the title bar (BTW, in Windows 8 there’s no text in the title bar) and the button right of the URL box. We may want to change it to “Internet Explorer 11”, or maybe just “IE11”. Code for this is already present in config/chroot_local-includes/usr/local/sbin/unsafe-browser’s set_chroot_browser_name, which we could put in a separated script so the code can be shared.
The question is if it’s too small a detail to be bothered about, since other imperfections our camouflage script has probably are at least as noticeable as this one is.

Once Bug #7951 is merged, the code to change a browser’s name will be in the set_chroot_browser_name function, in config/chroot_local-includes/usr/local/lib/tails-shell-library/chroot-browser.sh. One can play with it live in Tails by modifying /usr/local/bin/tor-browser.
