  • Improve the UX of the built-in bridges dialog

  • Closed Issue created by donuts

    We've observed that users often find it difficult to differentiate between Tor Browser's various bridge options, tend to choose a built-in bridge option at random (see: tpo/ux/research#100 (closed)), and have trouble figuring out how to connect afterwards (see: #41060 (closed)).

    In response, we're proposing:

    • Updating the “Bridges” section description on about:preferences#connection to include the word “securely”.
    • Updating the title and description of the built-in bridges dialog
    • Updating the individual descriptions that accompany each of the built-in bridge options
    • Fixing the size and styling of the dialog and its constituent elements to make it more consistent with Firefox
    • Replacing the OK button with a Connect button when not connected
    • Adding a ✔ Connected flag to indicate with built-in bridge option Tor Browser is currently using

    The Figma file is ready for dev handoff here: Figma link

    These fixes will be ran through additional usability testing in March/April as part of ~"Sponsor 30" before they reach stable in 12.5.
