Comment:
As we are proceeding with this work, Kathy and I are wondering whether we
want to just move to a side-by-side data model on all platforms in the Tor
Browser 6.0 timeframe.
Con: it will add some extra risk on Linux and Windows and some people may
not like the change.
Pro: better cross-platform consistency and all platforms will get the
benefits that go along with moving user data out of the area where the
binaries live. Examples: easier and safer sharing of Tor Browser with
other users, annoyances like #18179 will be eliminated, support for
multiple profiles and new profile creation, it will be easy to "reset" and
start over (just delete the TorBrowser-Data directory), etc.
Opinions?
