I have seen HTTP proxies, at least, labeled like "http://proxy.example.org:3128";. So being able to enter the type, which is specified at the start of the URL, before the host might be better. Is the use of the first person the best way to word the labels? It's not "me" who uses a proxy to access the Internet, it's the computer that is in front of me. It might not even be mineâ "Enter one or more bridge relays in the form address:port": pluggable transports will use an extra word. The current label is misleading. I'm not sure about how useful is the big blue question mark icon just before that. Is it an active button? In that case it's not clear enough from the screenshot, so it might not appear to a user. > http://trial.pearlcrescent.com/tor/torlauncher/2013-05-03/SetupWizard/wizard-all.png > (composite of all of the wizard panels). Does it make sens to write "Tor browser bundle" instead of simply "Tor browser"? Given this window will be integrated in the browser, and that there is no other visible software, it might just avoid some confusion. "If you are not sure how to answer this question, look at the Internet settings in another browser to see whethever you are using a proxy": I have a feeling this might not be the best advice. Asking users to open another browser enhance the likelyhood of them making mistakes. I remember Firefox being able to dig connection settings in other browsers. Can't such piece of code reused to get a suggestion? "Enter a comma-separated list of ports that are allowed by your firewall": I find the "your firewall" pretty ironic for most cases I know. One's university firewall will not be exactly theirs. In the bridge relay help panel, should <https://briges.torproject.org/> and <bridges@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> be made clickable links? This text is missing that bridges can be asked at the help desk. Should pluggable transports be mentioned in any ways? "Your browser will open after you are connected": this is misleading. It should say "The Tor Browser" instead of "Your browser". It is not the user's usual browser. I think it's also worth being more specific than "you are connected" because it might be understood as "connected to the Internet". Something like "The Tor Browser will open once successfully connected to the Tor network", maybe. Should the short user manual be added to this picture somewhere? -- Lunar <lunar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
