I downloaded one of their security handbook pdfs that I stumbled on online the other week haha. Now, some anonymous people tell me NOT to use TOR anymore, because it's compromised and tor exits are being monitored by fbi and etc.Ĭlick to expand.wow, thanks for fast reply! I'll have to check out that ScriptSafe plugin, and thanks for the information there as well. Hi, stumbled on this site regarding this statement actually, because it's confusing me lol. Lol! Just I never got a definitive response back about this question. Anyway, I was asking some random anonymous folks on youtube about this, because I figured they were the best ones to ask about the privacy tips and suggestions. So how are they even using these sites to full capacity on their anonymous accounts that have all this "protection" enabled/ javascript disabled and etc. if javascript is disabled and all those "ad block" plugins are installed?īecause most of those sites require javascript installed to use them and view videos. But how can you be on anonymous accounts posting youtube videos, watching youtube videos, and be on twitter, facebook, and other social sites. Now, some anonymous people tell me NOT to use TOR anymore, because it's compromised and tor exits are being monitored by fbi and etc.Īnd then here some are saying NOT to mix personal accounts with anonymous accounts. no regard for user privacy.Ĭlick to expand.Hi, stumbled on this site regarding this statement actually, because it's confusing me lol. I don't recommend the Chrome browser as it is connected to Google which seeks at every turn to compromise user data for advertising purposes to make a profit - i.e. Search for posts initiated by mirimir in this forum about the documentation available elsewhere he has posted on various issues like running Tor with a VPN and how to mitigate losing your privacy when the VPN drops out.įor Clearnet browsing, I use Firefox with NoScript in a Linux Live/USB environment which has the added security of having no hard drives mounted when connected to the Internet as opposed to any installed OS which by default exposes mounted hard drives for logging. Also, it is important to know when your VPN drops out and take action to mitigate that occurrence. Search this forum for thread titles with VPN to find reviews. The other question is of what use is it when you use the Tor Browser Bundle and you login to any website - it can easily compromise your login details at the Tor Exit Node when the owner of that Exit Node scans all traffic with Wireshark.Īs Jryder54 suggested the use of a VPN - that would be a very good first step to shield your IP address - and it is essential to find a trustworthy VPN provider. regular websites without using Tor/Tor Browser Bundle, and how do you retain your privacy. The real question is what is the most useful browser to browse the Clearnet - i.e. The notion of using Tor Browser Bundle locks you into using Tor afaik - please correct me if that is not so. There's a ton of information online and in this forum about the various browsers. If you want easy, then the Tor browser bundle is your only good option, but again, it's going to be slow. If configuring Firefox or Chrome yourself is too much of a pain, then you really have no good options. I don't know if anything equivalent to NoScript exists for Chrome, so that would be a stumbling block to making it more private. There are lots of threads and articles online about how to make Firefox more private. If you just want to be tracked less by online marketers, you're better off using Firefox with NoScript, AdBlock, and a few other privacy plugins. If you're serious about privacy, yes Tor Browser Bundle is pretty good and easy to use. Others can provide more details, but if you search this forum I'm sure you'll find plenty of information on Iron and Dragon in already existing threads. I think Iron is more or less the same kind of gimmick. I don't think Dragon does anything other than change a couple settings in Chrome that you could change yourself. You should do a little searching around.Īs far as I know SRWare Iron and Comodo Dragon are just marketing gimmicks to get you to use their software.
