check.torproject.org into about:tor -- or even replace the whole about:tor
with check.tpo design
If we want to do this (add a crowdfunding banner) and include it in Tor
Browser soon we should avoid taking on a redesign of the about:tor page
(that probably deserves its own ticket and some dedicated design
resources).
That is not to say that a redesign would be a bad thing. I do not know all
of the history, especially from a design point of view, but it seems like
check.torproject.org and the design for about:tor were produced
independently. Part of the technical design of about:tor is that only a
local SOCKS port check is done, which is very fast (see #7494) and
about:tor does include a "Test Tor Network Settings" to provides access to
the remote check.torproject.org site. Whatever redesign is done, I do not
think we should switch back to using a remote check since it is not needed
most of the time.
