### cfc - Improve the Tor Browser user experience

About:

cfc is a Firefox addon that attempts to improve the Tor Browser user
experience. Primarily by interpreting CloudFlare as damage and routing
around it.

It is intended as a proof of concept with some features incurring a
fairly substantial reduction in privacy/anonymity and MUST NOT BE USED BY
AT RISK USER BASES.

Notes:

* The circumvention method used defeats Tor Browser's built in session
isolation. Fixing this issue correctly requires a Tor Browser patch.
You have been warned, twice.

* This is a bastard combination of a bootstrapped (restartless) addon,
and SDK calls. It however does use Content Scripts, so it may survive
the transition to e10s.

* The first access to a site will incur minor additional network overhead
on a per-session basis.

* The name was chosen because it punches holes in censorship/blocking like
chlorofluorocarbons punch holes in the ozone layer, and any resemblance
to "CloudFlare Fucking Captcha" is entirely coincidental.

* It's been years since I've subjected myself to JavaScript, and this is
the first Firefox addon I've written. Code quality not guaranteed.

* Untested on Wintendos and Macintoys. I do not have such abominations,
however the code should work as it is portable.
