I use it for my "distractive" browsing. I access reddit/slashdot and other alike sites only through it. On the one hand it slows down, making me more selective and aware of what I do (ie I do not "wake up" 10 wikipedia links later) and on the other I have total privacy.
- jrockway 16y agoWell, not total privacy. Your browser leaks uniquely-identifiable information, Javascript tracking bugs + cookies track you, and your hard drive is subject to seizure by customs or law enforcement. Now, if you fake the UA with something very common, turn off most Javascript, and encrypt your hard drive in a deniable manner, then you are OK. (One of my side projects is to make the deniable encryption even easier for web browser history.)
- aw3c2 16y agoI do nothing illegal so harddrive encryption or anything tin-foily like that is irrelevant. (I do it though as it does not hurt and is so easy, plus if a HDD fails I can discard it without having to bother.) Cookies are per session. I use Firefox with Tor-Button. In the worst case there is "someone" who does the things I do. But no-one does connect that to me. You could do complicate analysis and pinpoint my demographic through that but no-one does that.
