It doesn’t have to be an email acc. Persona doesn’t actually have any dependency on email. Addresses that look like email (user@domain.tld) are just used for namespacing. The only requirement is that domain.tld can assert that you control u

BrowserID works by default with email but it has absolutely to dependency on email. It uses it for namespacing and bootstrapping, but nothing else. So foo@bar.com may or may not have any MX records, all that is required is that bar.com can

Do you actually believe this accomplishes anything… This data is still in their server logs[1] (and streamed directly to NSA). USE TOR BROWSER FOR BROWSING. DON’T STAY LOGGED INTO GOOGLE. Anything less is just a waste of time. And seriously

Only if you use nmap as-is. Also majority of torrent software uses UPnP IGD to open TCP port (which is then advertised to the tracker). I’m not sure but I think µTorrent on Windows also listens on the Toredo provided IPv6 address.

How is that Mozilla’s problem? If you close all the “hoops” the rogue installer can just simply replace Firefox with its own build of “Firefox.” I truly don’t understand why Mozilla is trying to do Microsoft’s job.

Your best bet is probably to use a phablet and a Bluetooth headset for answering if you want to do VoIP. Actually that’s one of the reasons I’m excited for smartwatches. Headset + BT-only watch + phablet + Internet AP over Wi-Fi/Blueto
