Comment (by antonela):
Replying to [comment:93 mcs]:
> Here are some UX comments related to the "Always prioritize Onions"
prompt (but note that Kathy and I have not closely followed all of the
discussions related to this feature):
Thanks for this review mcs and brade!
> * Clicking the `[x]` has the same effect as clicking "Not Now" and
therefore the `[x]` does not seem necessary.
Agreed. There is not [x] in the default doorhanger, too.
[https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/attachment/ticket/21952/21952%20-%20UI%20Review.png,
Ref].
> * Using a doorhanger for the prompt makes us think that it is safe to
click the `[.onion available]` button to dismiss the prompt (because that
is how most of Firefox's other doorhangers work). I am not sure how to fix
this issue though.
Well, it *is* safe to click the [.onion available]. And actually, since we
are promoting the discovery doorhanger just the first time and meanwhile
the automatic redirect is not enabled in `about:preferences`, it should
get closed when the button is clicked.
> * There is no way to dismiss the prompt in such a way that it will be
shown a second time, which surprises Kathy and me.
True. I made a version with a [Ask me again in the future], but it
slightly moved out-of-scope. I'm happy to explore that option in the
future (as a non-prompt/transparent re-direct flow too).
>But I guess the "Always prioritize Onions" prompt is only intended to
serve as a form of onboarding. I wonder if the prompt should be adjusted
to open about:preferences instead of directly modifying the
`privacy.prioritizeonions.enabled` pref? Opening the preferences would
teach users where to find the setting in the future.
Maybe, yes. Since it is a global feature and also if selected, the prompt
will not show anymore, we may want to open `about:preferences` also as an
educational opportunity.
