Opt-in and opt-out options for getting through escrow stages quicker, basically nullifying the innocent sync window button in the web browser that requires your mouse click. I feel that it only serves to slow down a transaction without making any impactful decisions. To be clear, I don't mean the decisions process but the sync windows.

After the slow escrow I've experienced this would help drastically with traders that may not be online or in the same browser tab, or of the same amount of time as others, for whatever personal or technical reasons. To automate or remove those loading windows may help speed up some trades, especially dealing with slower devices, slower networks like Tor, or even issues of human reaction times.

While it is good that online status is optional for your account, I think this can be finely tuned by observer type and time window to manage privacy risks. Observers types allowed can include the whole user base of anonbazaar or only traders that are already in approved deals with you. Time windows from online status metadata can already be disabled entirely or should be set within a certain time span such as days, hours, or down to the minute or second to make escrow smoother or the opposite end to mitigate certain privacy risks from timezone and location estimations by extending the range or refusing to show online status reactivity or at all.

All these suggestions do is make the escrow process smoother or manage optional privacy risks better by choosing who knows what metadata and when.

The only other things I can suggest is fixing the anonbazaar domain and Tor onion service. The other is finally providing a sort of proof of life or near daily PGP canary system so no market servers can realistically impersonate this one. Further that the XMR address for donations to AnonBazaar should also be included and signed within the canary as well but it can also link the page that contains donator comments and fundraiser progress tracker on https://xmrbazaar.com/fundraiser/ Users should be able to check the daily signature and confer with other users if it is valid. Could prove important considering the recent attacks on Monero and the circular economy. Never blindly trust a web browser entirely, ideally any software or infrastructure.
