Terrible advice. If there is one thing I know from ~8 years of following the darkweb markets is that there's nothing worse than stepping outside of the common practice of: use Tor, use Tails, use Whonix If you read the the DOJ indictments of Tor users what they have in common is that they stepped out of those bounds There _was_ a period where Firefox (hence: the Tor Browser) was terrible and 0days were cheap (which is why most of the darkweb switched up to using VM's behing their browsers), but those days are over[0] I can't recall a recent indictment where the adversary in the USA broke Tor Browser. If you are a dissident in Turkey, Syria or Russia .. you're more than safe using the Tor Browser bundle. The NSA aren't burning 0days in Firefox and VM's on 99.9% of Tor users - if you're in that other 0.01% then good luck to you[1], your threat model is very different to those looking to obfuscate from oppressive regimes. As somebody with an infosec background, this is where I feel the industry fails in the sense of "perfect is the enemy of good" - there is no such thing as perfect (I bet most who preach against Tor Browser wouldn't be able to come up with a model that is) - the practical advice today is, and always has been, use Tor (Browser), use Tails, use Whonix [0] I used ungoogled-chromium in that period, until an DNM administrator during a chat told me he could spot me in his acccess logs
