[tor-project] PieroV's Monthly Status Report, December 2024

[Pier Angelo Vendrame via tor-project <tor-project@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone!
Here is my status report for December 2024.

This month, I finally had time for some overdue tasks that took me a 
long time.
I started with the review of our patch set, particularly the Android part.
We had some residues from the Tor integration migration and the last ESR 
rebase [0]. Also, some patches grew too much over time, so I split them.
The resulting changes [1] were not a lot, but they were enough for a 
merge request.
We will have to come back to this in the future.

Then, I could work on fingerprinting. I finalized the patch to switch 
from the font "whitelist" to custom font visibility rules, matching 
Firefox [2].
After that, I started uplifting some of our letterboxing patches.
The first ones were merged two years ago, and we want to have them in 
Firefox by ESR140.
Also, regarding fingerprinting, I checked whether a leak of system 
accent color was possible [3], and set a preference as a defense in depth.

During the month, I also helped to formalize the process for the rebases 
across all the RR versions [4][5] and attended some meetings about 
planning and grant proposals.

Best,
Pier
