1531814 - Consider running trackers under proxy

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Privacy: Anti-Tracking, enhancement, P5)

Description

[Andrea Marchesini [:baku]]

I want to share a prototype I wrote, that runs any channel, flagged by the URL-classifier as a tracker, under a custom network proxy socks4 or socks5.

The configuration prefs are:
urlclassifier.trackingAnnotation.network.proxy.type: socks4 or socks4
urlclassifier.trackingAnnotation.network.proxy.host: the host - 127.0.0.1 for tor.
urlclassifier.trackingAnnotation.network.proxy.port: the port - 9050 for tor.

Should we try to clean this up and land it?
