exactly if it’s a company they have to comply with laws. This is not a service to rely on if you doing espionage or something. It’s for people who want more privacy and choice.
Bridge
I am actually sort of worried that now that they put this out they will retire bridge. We will have to wait and see. Is having a browser tab open really that bad… ?? I suppose but I still like programs over web pages.
This is sort of an interesting article. It seems like ( unlike what I thought ) the Supreme court might not have much it could even do to overturn the situation: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/lawyer-explains-supreme-courts-only-wiggle-room-in-trump-colorado-case/ar-AA1m1hit
I think they mean ten
They made it and they use it. So if they intentionally put a flaw in it that would be very stupid.
Just use new pipe on mobile and freetube on desktop and it basically fixes all the issues with YouTube.
I think you are making more of a political and philosophical argument than a technical one. The project for tor browser and associated technologies is a 501c3 nonprofit. It’s technology is open source and can be independently reviewed by third parties. Control of the network and it’s technology is distributed and is not controlled by any single government or entity. It’s not a perfect solution but it’s better in certain contexts than other options. It just depends on your use case but the torproject is not doing anything “wrong” they are not a shill for a particular government.
I would need to do some testing but a potential flaw I can already think of is that your browser will look fairly unique to finger printers. So for instance you are already running a variant of firefox which only has about 3% of the market share. Now you are running a variant of firefox that has a really unique settings. So instead of being 1 in crowd of hundreds of thousands or millions you will be 1 out of few thousand maybe or possibly just hundreds if adoption is slow enough. Then add browsing habits to that you could potentially narrow the person down to a few dozen or even a dozen people quick. You would likely be better off using a more popular browser with just a VPN. However I don’t care what browser you use you still need to be careful if you want to stay private.
Not much has changed. It’s really only secure if you are sending emails between addresses within the same local network like gmail to gmail. Thankfull with end to end encryption it can be pretty safe just good luck finding someone that knows how to use it. but thankfully proton makes that pretty seamless.
