Well, the act of using Chrome itself on Tor is many bits towards a unique fingerprint WebRTC is because of IP leaks via peer connections We really need a build of chromium that removes the fancier web tech and integrates privacy features of

You need to disable WebRTC, WebGL, Canvas and a bunch of other things if you're going to use Chrome/Chromium with Tor There is no good solution at the moment - one lacks security while the other lacks privacy.

Disagree. React was released in 2013, but use didn't take off until Dan Abramov released his Flux implementation, Redux, in early 2015[0]. That is a full two years of a Javascript view library with the backing of Facebook where it didn
