These are the goals of the I2P Browser, and not really this plugin in-and-of-itself
===================================================================================
A
User Interface:
---------------
* Remove search engines
* Replace bookmarks
* Donate banner / UI
* Patch Firefox to have relative (from the binary) profile directory
* Start use the Firefox update process to update browser installations
* Mark .i2p cookies as secure
* Mark .i2p domains as secure connection
* Add tests for .i2p secure marking
* Improve the delay-the-user XUL dialogs to be more accurate in regards
of where the router is in its bootup progress
* Disable the WebIDE
* Disable GamePad API by default
* Disable Web Speech API by default
* Disable the Web Audio API by default
* UI redesign bootstrapping and configuration screens (delay-the-user dialogs)
* Default browser choose wining should de disabled like
browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser, it can be default, but then
choosen by the user without any begging ahead
* Extend the firefox preferences UI for I2P router configuration thought
of as "must have" or "very nice to have"
* Shrink the BroadcastChannel API's boundaries of access or disable completely
* Make a API white/grey/black -list, in super paranoia mode we should
probably disable almost all, while in most cases the user probably want
to be as close to a normal browser/web experinence that
they are used to from before
Leak Avoidance:
---------------
* Stop web socket DNS leak
* If doable, slim down the CA store from unnecessary CAs
* Disable the microphone by default
* Ensure WebRTC is disabled in compile time
* Disable mDNS features
* Ensure links like sftp:// and smb:// ,
as well as \\samba-share is blocked/denied
* Dont allow IndexedDB storage for third party domains (likability issue)
* Patch the DNS service to prevent any browser or addon DNS resolution
* Restrict what MIME types that are exposed to content scripts
General Security:
-----------------
* Backport any security patches that might appear from Mozilla
* Dont allow XHR/Websockets requests towards 127.0.0.1/localhost
* Always use the most sane form of preferences defaults in context
of privacy and security.
Unnecessary Connections:
------------------------
* Disable getpocket.com features and alike
* Remove sync option from preferences
* Clear state when the app exits, by default
* Disable updater telemetry
* Make firefox stop call home to mozilla for different reasons
* Prevent non-Necko network connections
* Figure out how to approach prerender, preconnect, and prefetch link tags
Disk Avoidance:
---------------
* Dont allow SSL key logging
* Only cache media in memory
* Disable the password saving functionality to avoid such being written to disk
* Disable the Auto form-fill to keep as much as possible not written to disk
Platforms:
----------
* Support for Android?
* Support for iOS?
Anti-Fingerprinting:
--------------------
* Test for preferences which ensures a sane default and
something to tell when/if we break it
* Disable support for system adding
* Disable Firefox enterprise policies
* Disable NTLM authentication
* Disable SPNEGO authentication
* Handle privacy issues regarding window.name
* Test runner for I2P Browser test cases
* Block loading of plugins
* Disable OS spesific firefox features that can help fingerprint
the end user's operating system
* Block html5 canvas by default
* Block by default or disable WebGL completely?
* Never start fullscreen, always start with fixed width/height to
avoid expose screen resolution
* Report fake system uptime to content scripts
* Spoof Accept-Language and Accept-Charset headers no matter browser language
* Spoof timezone to always be UTC
* Develop methods to reduce the accuracy of JavaScript
performance fingerprinting
* Always report only one CPU core (dom.maxHardwareConcurrencys)
* Avoid Keystroke fingerprinting by messing with the event resolution
* Disable GeoIP-based search results
