Replying to [comment:18 lunar]:
> Instead of going to the ControlPort to send a NEWNYM command, Torbutton
could simply create a new SOCKS username each time the 'new identity
button is pressed'. Stream isolation will make both have the same outcome.
Great suggestion!
> This would also reduce some complexity in the TBB launching script,
because they would be no need to pass environment variable around to get
access to the ControlPort.
Bonus point: TBB gets (less) dependent on ControlPort. That helps when Tor
Browser can not access ControlPort on purpose, i.e. when Tor Browser is
being used behind a transparent or lan (Tor) proxy.
