@nikitonsky to me that reads like extortion and blackmail and woukd get them yerted instantly in favour of @Waterfox if not @torproject / #TorBrowser...

#Helium #HeliumBrowser #Browser #Waterfox #Enshittification

@pheonix #WhatsMissing is not just people refusing to do so, but to quid-pro-quo this shit with more aggressive #Contermeasures than ever before.

• Literally using @torproject / #TorBrowser on highest safety settings and blocking all the #JavaScript #malware before it even gets loaded.
• Cuz otherwise we'll see this abuse only get worse!

@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...
