@jbz JFC!

At least @Waterfox & @torproject / #TorBrowser don't do that...

@dw_innovation @torproject I wounder if anyone else thought about some good "#Homepage, but on the #Tor network" ?

• Cuz I do have a curated list of bona-fide sites that are available as #OnionService|s and certainly we need more "#TechIlliterates" and #Normies to use #TorBrowser for said bona-fide activities more...

Tor Browser via Tails supports uBlock Origin.

Tor Browser via the Tor Project website does not support uBlock Origin but they are working on implementing it.

@gravitas yeah.

I just wanted to put this out so that "#TechIlliterates" don't think this is a valid substitute for @torproject / #TorBrowser…

@kkarhan @torproject @Waterfox Yes, Fair enough to say this is just not recommended in general, Its something i’m doing to test a specific use case and its easier then manually finding proxies for the given countries.

But here’s an interesting fact: #TorBrowser doesn’t use the same tor connection as the one that uses the systemwide /etc/tor/torrc . So while I’ll again stress this is not recommended unless you know what you’re doing, it won’t actually affect the standard Tor browser. (or at least this is the case when i test on my system, could differ on windows,mac, etc)

It’s not that slow but even if it was I’d use dial up before i put up with ads.

@gravitas I'd disrecommend manual @torproject / #Tor.configuration unless you know EXACTLY what you do.

• #TorBrowser does way more than merely proxy Traffic through Tor, but also prevent #InformationLeakage and block tracking code.
  • You do run the risk of subverting your anonymization efforts to a degree that way!

So I do disrecommend doing this, and instead use if not #TorBrowser, then at least @Waterfox / #Waterfox with #SponsorBlock and #uBlockOrigin if not #NoScript in incognito mode...

@lemgandi @pluralistic OFC!

And then go to a @cryptoparty / @cryptoparty / #CryptoParty and learn the basics on how to get started with @tails_live / @tails / #Tails and @torproject / #TorBrowser and all the other things…

@mrmasterkeyboard @xinit the #RightToFork is elemental to #FLOSS and necessary for #OpenSource to exist.

• As much as I'm not a fan of seemingly abandoned forks of my works, I am not in the position to restrict or ban those.
  • And people OFC have their right to make a #fork whenever they want to do so!

We ain't criticizing corporations that maintain outdated inhouse forks out of principle, and I think that #evi isn't a "fork for the sake of forking" but actually does things different and apparenty "irreconcileable" to the mainline Project.

• This is how #Innovation is born.
  • See #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, #DragonflyBSD, #OpenZFS, #Illumos, #Waterfox, #TorBrowser, …

Nit to mention EVERYTHING IS "#POLITICAL" - including "apoliticalness"!
