If our TokenBucketRefillInterval is very low, we'll frequently wind up with very small writes, which can be exceptionally bad with TLS. One answer is to say "don't do that then" and keep TokenBucketRefillInterfal to about 100msec or so. Another answer is to nagle our TLS writes, and never write less than the full amount in the output buffer, or one cell, whichever is smaller.
For non-TLS writes, the kernel should nagle for us, so we're probably fine, though it might be sensible to impose a write threshold there too.https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/29540Impossible to change the color of visited links in Tor Browser2022-02-03T19:07:02ZsajolidaImpossible to change the color of visited links in Tor BrowserChanging the color of visited links (for example, from blue to purple) is a core feature of web navigation since it's origin.

https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/bridge/debian-ubuntu/
When I hit this step:
`systemctl enable --now tor@default`
I'll get this:
```
The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy=, RequiredBy=, Also=,
Alias= settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance= for template
units). This means they are not meant to be enabled using systemctl.
Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:
• A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
.wants/ or .requires/ directory.
• A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
a requirement dependency on it.
• A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
• In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some
instance name specified.
Job for tor@default.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status tor@default.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
```
I'm using a generic Ubuntu 20.04 instance on EC2/AWS.
Indeed the error message seems correct. It seems I need to manually edit:
`/lib/systemd/system/tor@default.service` which is missing the [Install] section at the bottom.
After adding:
```
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```
To the bottom of `tor@default.service` unit file, it fixes the issue of me running, `systemctl enable --now tor@default`.
But my main question is, should this unit file be manually updated? or is the install doc missing a step? or is something else going wrong?

However some users are finding the warning confusing, and/or are suffering from warning fatigue – e.g.:
```
<Jeremy_Rand_36C3[m]> So far at least 2 users in #tor have been very confused about the NoScript warnings that were recently added. One of them thought the warning meant his identity had already leaked, and panicked and shut off Tor Browser. Seems like we should ask the UX Team to evaluate how we can improve this, now that we have some breathing room since the vulnerability is mitigated.
<Jeremy_Rand_36C3[m]> One of the two users I noticed who was confused about the warning was one of my co-workers, who is very technically proficient, including about Tor, and even he couldn't understand what the warning was about, what triggered it, and what the correct course of action was
<Jeremy_Rand_36C3[m]> Then you have a less sophisticated user who thought the warning meant he was already pwned and panicked
<Jeremy_Rand_36C3[m]> I was hoping the UX Team might be able to evaluate how this warning can be better presented so that users don't get confused or make bad decisions when they see it
```
We're planning on integrating this feature into Tor Browser as part of the work to migrate the Security Level feature in https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/40925.

My Android has a low screen res, the web content loads at a higher res - when I pinch to zoom and re-run/refresh: the viewport shows entropy. Ignore the css media measurements. Just focus on the five JS results: screen, available screen, outer, inner and viewport
Control
- device should not be hidpi/retina/whatever-you-call-it
- load test page [1]
- all the widths/heights (except viewport: e.g 17px less width) should be the same (i.e `1000 x 1000`)
- zoom in to `133%`
- refresh or rerun button
- all the widths/heights (except viewport e.g 13px less width) should be the same (e.g `750 x 750`)
STR
- device should be hidpi
- load the test page
- all the widths/heights (except viewport) should be the same (e.g `980 x 1522`)
- zoom in (fingers on a touch device)
- scroll to the left and hit `re-run tests`
- scroll back to the right and viewport is still based on the old value
- also, in the pic in [2] css media still shows it's using the old values (`980`) (ignore that it's missing the height values: not sure why it does that: I think it's because it hits a fraction, I see the same thing on desktop)
Is this just a quirk? Or is the viewport not properly spoofed in all situations?
