Design and implement an extension for Tor Browser that can be used to gather

<p>
Please propose the extension design in a way that the information is strictly
on an opt-in basis and scrubs any information that can be used to identify a
user, and also come up with a way to send the gathered information to a
central server, whether to an onion address (if the user has Tor running), or
otherwise. To start with, we are looking to gather only text as part of the
feedback process.

<b>Crash Reporter for Tor Browser</b>
<br>
Likely Mentors: <i>Tom Ritter (tjr)</i>, <i>Georg (GeKo)</i>
<p>
Currently Tor Browser disables the Crash Reporter. We would like to
build it reproducible, enable it, and configure it to report crashes
containing non-detailed and impersonal information to Tor, on a .onion
submission platform that would allow us to view and explore the
crashes.
</p>
<p>
The project will entail enabling the Crash Report on Tor Browser and
creating a backend to receive reports from it. Once created, the crash
reporter data will be analyzed and modified to fit Tor's requirements
for personal data collection. As time permits, we will update the
build system to ensure the crash reporter is built reproducibly and
add data analysis tools for the crash report database to visualize top
crashers and similar statistics.

<p>
This project will enable and take advantage of HTTP/2, the Alt-Srv
header, and tor's new single hop .onion mode to enable websites to
transparently move their traffic to a .onion address. In addition to
improvements in security, we will benchmark page load and paint times
under normal HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, and when taking advantage of features
such as Server Push.
