while they do warn you, it is about time that they implement a real incognito mode, maybe using Tor by default... The current incognito only protects your privacy from other people that are using the same computer which is not really that helpful since you could just create another user to achieve basically the same (if your disk is encrypted)
- shadowgovt 6y agoWhy should they? Tor is already there.
- coronadisaster 6y agoThey should because it would be the right thing to do... and Firefox is more popular then the Tor browser, so it would help spread Tor adoption... a lot of people don't understand the benefits of hiding your IP... so they aren't going to download the Tor browser
- three_seagrass 6y agoI thought Firefox is already the defacto Tor browser?
- coronadisaster 6y agoIt is based on Firefox but it is not Firefox... but anyways, unlike the Tor browser, maybe Firefox should not use Tor in regular mode (only in incognito).
- junon 6y agoIt is for me. Tor runs as a daemon, then I have my Firefox proxy settings to always hit Tor. Onion addresses work, and Firefox refuses to connect if the Tor daemon isn't running. Paired with Firefox actually honoring my requests to purge all information upon exit (instead of chrome only "kind of" doing it), it certainly works out quite well for me.
- shadowgovt 6y agoHow is the performance difference for accessing websites via Tor vs. accessing them directly?
- bryan_w 6y agoHeck Tor even has a browser bundle to make it easy. At some point people have to be responsible for their own computing decisions
