It appears that the NSA has been able to target only Tor users that are using the Tor - Firefox bundle. So if you are using Chrome or some other browser - configured to use Tor, you would be safe from these exploits. Wouldn't most sophisticated hackers - or other high value targets most likely to be of interest to the NSA - be already doing that, rather than using the Firefox+Tor bundle?
- andrewaylett 13y agoUnless you put a lot of effort into the integration, I'd advise against doing that -- the Firefox included in the bundle is specifically set up to avoid leaking information, while a standard Firefox or standard Chrome will phone home or do something else (like make a DNS request over the public network) that will quickly compromise any security you thought you had.
