tor (TBB) doesn’t work for everything and most people want something fast and convinient that only takes clicking a few buttons to get working. They will think it is too much work.

I recommend Brave browser which can use tor in private browsing mode but also has a regular browser with encrypted DNS (cloudflare, https strict, and shields) for things like banking, shopping, and online accounts (that might help to have a password manager for).

Also, Tor browser does not have any passthrough for security keys but Brave based on chromium does. Tor browser does not have a password manager.

Firejail should work on a profile for Brave as sandboxing is always helpful. TBB can be sandboxed easily, however.

This “multi-tiered” approach would be better for most people who aren’t just accessing a handful of onionsites that replace or are in opposition to an entirely different set of services than those usually accessed on the conventional internet (online banking, social media, a few publication sites, and a search engine).

Yep. They all pretty much just jack with the flag.

Especially if it is at someone else’s expense so they can get a rush off of subjugating defenseless civilians and leading off sadistically with the enslaved, risking nothing in their hidden-bunker cowardice.

What do you think about sites that don’t work with all variety of DNS (not even cloudflare) or proxies or tor or Firefox or Chrome or varied AP or varied devices–in short, all access combinations?

Dead link? Total Information Awareness roving tap castiron?

Can you unblock 404 Media podcasts on Signal and Identity Hacked? Tried both Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

If you like anonymity, then the Retro thinkpads should still be the best as they are numerous and hardware profiling is useless (if you are a TAILS or tor user – “Windows” everywhere!).

Also, check out the “hardware compatibility list” from Qubes OS (they’ve got an endorsement from Snowden right on their homepage). The i5 and i7 Intel CPUs virtualize and are very well understood by people that work with Xen. Notice how Intel just crashed with the latest generation CPU lines. Just because it is brand new, doesn’t mean it is highest security and reliability. (For example, nuclear silos sometimes still use floppies and are air gap compartmentalized with people in the loop. Might not be best for all the nukes to be on skynet and latest videogame capable. Depends on what you are doing for what is “best.”)

Modularity on Framework is pretty cool though.
