• Ten years from Snowden revelations – what's next for Tor and privacy online?

  I’m not sure about the Tor project, but the closely-related Tails project (which is excellent, BTW) seems to be uncomfortably adjacent to far-left anarchist groups. Their website, https://tails.boum.org, is hosted by one such group, and on it they prominently link to another anarchist “collective” called RiseUp. Why are we okay with this kind of implicit endorsement of violence-adjacent groups? It should be just... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Is it possible for a skilled hacker or government to remotely access my computer?

  Tails is a security-focused Linux distro that (by default) only runs as a live-USB and is not meant to be used as a traditional daily-driver. As you've probably understood by now, it's a 'limited' system for the sake of security and privacy. At least it's assuring to have a far better protected distro than what distros like Arch/Debian/Fedora offer by default. Source: 11 months ago

• Are you supposed to use Proton Tor server with Onion Browser?

  It is not recommended to use Tor Browser through a VPN. If you want to reduce fingerprinting / privacy while using a VPN, use Mullvad Browser, a hardened Firefox (e. g. Arkenfox or Librewolf. On mobile you could use Firefox Focus or even better: Mull (Privacy hardened Firefox for Android). Source: 11 months ago

• Firefox will get rid of cookie banners by auto-rejecting cookies

  I use a fork called Fennec which is Firefox stable with the proprietary bits removed. Also Mull is a great fork, which is Firefox Stable with most of the privacy enhanced features from arkenfox js which enables things like fingerprint resistance. This causes a lot more breakage though, so recommend to use it as a secondary browser. Both are available on fdroid, neither requiring Google Play. Source: about 1 year ago

• Firefox Android now supports tampermonkey

  I recommend the fork Mull: https://f-droid.org/packages/us.spotco.fennec_dos/ It includes privacy-related improvements. See more: https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/mull-fenix. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
