Browsing accessing through Legwork or using the I2P Browser container tab

Legwork will automatically shunt into an I2P container tab and from now on, is being addressed only via the base32 address so no further setup should be necessary.

Still need a way to tell people who want to use an I2P browser tab to access an outproxy that they won't be auto-configured, that they need to open the tab manually via the menu. Screenshots?

Explain this and what to do if you cannot access the things in this list:

Update Firefox. The only people having this problem are Firefox 91 users who are stuck on an antique version of GNU IceCat. Firefox multi-account containers are automatically activated when you ask permission to use the API in all modern Firefoxes.

explains what extra steps are needed to make use of the full features.

IMO we cross this bridge at another time. They will auto-configure when the plugins are installed, and if all these other much more basic functionality is unclear just punt this down the road for now. They hide themselves from the UI if they don't work, we should focus on the basic functions for now.

I do have a fairly substantial wiki: https://github.com/eyedeekay/I2P-in-Private-Browsing-Mode-Firefox/wiki also, it may be useful to harvest information from there

Per the implementation of the extension and the site this should go onto the help page from https://github.com/eyedeekay/I2P-in-Private-Browsing-Mode-Firefox/issues/121 which is currently supplied by i2pcontrol/index.html, which needs to be moved to help.html and broadened to include general help.

Do users still need to turn on I2P Control to connect to the router access? That is what I was meaning , and Legwork as noted.

Yes, was think the same.

Re: configuring Outproxy: yes, screenshots!

* I am using the recent firefox and am unable to access anything in that menu in the screenshot except the I2P Browser. Is there something that I need to do?

I don't know what you mean by unable to access anything in that menu. If you can access the I2P Browser tab you should be able to access every other tab. Is this the same issue as https://github.com/eyedeekay/I2P-in-Private-Browsing-Mode-Firefox/issues/126#issuecomment-1264003638?

Shoalsteed commented 1 year ago

Yes, that was the issue I was talking about. And it seems like we have a workaround established.

Shoalsteed commented 1 year ago

I created this to explain the function of containers. Would it make sense to have something like this to show how containers work in non I2P contexts and one with I2P identities to demonstrate tab workflows?

I would lose the search bars if this is an infographic? They seem confusing.

Shoalsteed commented 1 year ago

Sure - I will use them in the workflow infographic instead. Can you give me the UI controls for the different icons and logo so that I can get that done too?
