Is the in-house software just better at fitting the power usage metrics, or does the battery actually last longer with Safari when you let it physically drain out?

That is a problem which crypto proponents are actively trying to overcome.

I would love to see a follow up to that. From what I recall, the PRISM program they used in that study wasn't the only one of its kind, and anything from the 80s or earlier wasn't included. They also didn't make mention of

Well, I'm not saying we should jump to the other extreme - though, suppression or denial of rumors doesn't really help them go away. Streisand effect, etc. Rather, I'm just reacting to the parent's claim that we shouldn

I imagine that for such a threat model as you imply, a VPN would do rather little.

I'm not sure there is a good alternative. Most of the alternatives are built with Java, which (considering tor isn't considered safe with Java enabled) doesn't seem like an improvement. Is there an alternative that's per

You are not able to safely run JS in Tor Browser, but JS is enabled by default.

I believe the article mentions that, but also notes your method works for low-traffic situations. The 0day is a high-performance alternative.

I'm not actually sure that's a difference. On the old systems where that philosophy was developed, disk space was at a premium. In fact, IIRC, the lack of space precipitated the need for a modular system of the sort described by
