Issue created Aug 21, 2021 by lansi90@lansi90

Consider exposing the "New Tor Circuit" functionality to WebExtensions

I made a browser extension that uses the "New Tor Circuit" functionality. You can take a look at it here https://gitlab.torproject.org/lansi90/google-captcha-bypass-extension. The extension comes with instructions to patch omni.ja to allow WebExtensions to ask for a "New Tor Circuit". For non technical people, finding omni.ja and running a shell script to patch it is too much asked.

It would be great if TorBrowser could consider exposing this function through a WebExtension API out of the box.
