The big benefit of having emma in OONI is that we would get significantly more measurements and we no longer need to expect users to be able to compile programs.https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/emma/-/issues/4Build Encore-style Web-based censorship measurement tests2022-02-04T18:43:43ZPhilipp Winterphw@torproject.orgBuild Encore-style Web-based censorship measurement testsEmma's source code must be compiled before one can run it, which makes it difficult for non-technical users to run emma.

(Granted, we can cross-compile a .exe for Windows users but the resulting binary isn't signed and we shouldn't encourage people to run random executables.)
I propose to experiment with a Web-based version of emma. The idea is to point a user to example.com/emma/, which performs the same tests as our compiled executables but it uses JavaScript to get the job done. Here are a few projects that can serve as inspiration:
* Encore: https://censorbib.nymity.ch/#Burnett2015a
* CensorSweeper: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2012-July/003851.html
* I believe that NetBlocks is doing something similar: https://netblocks.org
