[tor-dev] Cupcake: browser extension for flash proxies
Hi all,
Made this extension for Google Chrome to extend the concept of the Flash Proxy, and make it easy for users to create bridges. (and as a result cause a bunch of fairly robust bridges to be made). The concept could be used in addons for FireFox, Opera, or Safari as well, since they all allow processes to run in the background.
Benefits:
* Allows people to opt-in to becoming flash proxies, rather than current opt-out model
* Works in Chrome OS
* Takes all guesswork out of making a bridge
* Flash proxies made with Cupcake have a substantially longer uptime than those using site visitors
* Uses less memory than either Tor BB or Vidalia
Source code: https://github.com/glamrock/cupcake
Now that I've tested it and it seems to work well, I'd love to get input and suggestions on it. If it's useful, I'll submit it to the Chrome Web Store. Right now it uses the Stanford project site's embed page. If there's much interest in this, I'll switch to a dedicated site since it's maybe not fair to send that many requests to them ^_^;
Input, ideas, and tomatoes welcome =)
Best,
Griffin Boyce
