- cyphar 7y agoUnfortunately, while Privacy Pass on paper may be privacy protecting (though there is very little research into the topic due to it's relative lack of use), just by installing and using it with Tor you have reduced your effective privacy (because it's not installed in the Tor Browser by default). And the Tor folks aren't willing to include it by default for a variety of reasons (disagreeing with CloudFlare restricting visitor's ability to read pages in the first place, lack of conclusive research into how it will impact the fingerprinting of Tor users, and just general bad blood between the Tor and CloudFlare folks). Obviously, folks can do whatever they want but I wouldn't recommend using Privacy Pass over Tor for the above reasons.
- t0astbread 7y agoI'm not using the Tor browser but I can see how your statement could be valid for other browsers as well. TLDR it makes you more unique on the web.
- t0astbread 7y agoYep, I am using Tor! Privacy Pass has been suggested to me before and I have tried it but it didn't do anything for me (other than consuming tokens). It does work after I turn cookies on for the page but that's not something I wanna do for every website I visit (that sits behind Cloudflare). I understand that there's a limit as to where websites can reasonably be expected to work and I'm not sure if my case is crossing it.
