    [Richard Stallman] usually does not browse the web directly from his personal computer. Instead, he uses GNU Womb’s grab-url-from-mail utility, an email-based proxy which downloads the webpage content and then emails it to the user.

    If you’re not doing this you’re not properly paranoid.

    Tor Browser is this kid wearing many layers of different masks and hoodies, and changing them randomly whenever the mood strikes.

    I use Librewolf and TBB. Both have NoScript enabled and JS turned off by default. I never turn on JS on TBB obviously, and for the few sites that I frequent on Librewolf, I tweaked it by hand. It’s not that hard.

    I will look to also use Mullvad browser alongside Librewolf maybe, not sure which one of them is more private since Mullvad browser comes straight from the TOR project and has their security settings.

        If you dont care about Ad search engines, Studies, Pocket, Google Safebrowsing, search suggestions, a start page with ads, weak privacy settings, all cookies saved forever, no adblocking, a unique canvas fingerprint, a user agent containing your Linux Distro,…

        I went through the arkenfox user.js and literally all of it minus 20 or so settings just make sense. The rest are kinda overkill, but really, Firefox is horrible out of the box.

        It is really modular luckily

          Talking shit, but even you still have to recognize excellent software design.

            Stop harrassing me please. Just because you are fine with something, you cant say anyone else is talking shit.

            Firefox is really modular, and that makes it different from the other browers.

    Librewolf enables fingerprinting preventation which makes some websites / fields very laggy. I can disable it but what’s the point of using Librewolf then? Also using FF is not paranoid, it is the only free software I installed that sticked with my family. Tor has a wholly different purpose.

    Librewolf, but I’d argue it’s more of a Firefox/web debloater reason. No pocket, no VPN ads. I would have said that the only issue is that it is a pain to update, but they added a windows updater and software repos, so I would almost recommend it over stock firefox for normies.

    And I use tor to search stuff that contains sensitive data like my location… Or when a website is blocked

      Internet explorer makes you naked for sure.

      Chrome maybe in swim trunks at a shopping mall. Everyone (advertisers etc) can see you and you’re weirdly exposed.
