Firefox is my go-to browser

What VPN do you use? I use ProtonVPN

we call that telemetry it's less damning

I don't use a VPN right now as I'm searching one like maybe NORDVPN and I'm studying for certifications

All I know is my go-to browser is Brave and Firefox

whyd you post this

😎

Well then just use Linux?!

You don't need an extra vpn for tor. Just use the build in Layer.

I use brave after that whole censorship stuff and statement from Firefox

Using Nord it is actually pretty good. You can use TOR features without tor like using onion links ab being harder to track with the Onion VPN option built in.

WTF kind of BS list puts firefox above TOR for privacy? TOR is literally firefox but reconfigured to MAXIMUM privacy! I would NOT trust that list.

I guess it's due to using Tor makes you suspicious according to some

And firefox is basically Brave kinda

no... not at all

In terms of privacy, yes, in terms of anything else no

They are completely different browsers

And neither brave nor firefox are that good for privacy, better than opera or chrome absolutely, but Pale Moon (Privacy firefox) Or ungoogled chromium (Privacy chrome) are far better

but if you arent paranoid it doesnt really matter

As long as you dont use opera because its literally owned by the chinese XD

I heard lol. Thanks for the two browsers.

np, ungoogled chromium can be a PITA to find sometimes, heres the link for it

https://ungoogled-software.github.io/ungoogled-chromium-binaries/

you'd want the Windows 64ibit installer

Opera's data is still being handled through Norway, with EU laws. The Chinese corporation is not directly involved with their actual operations

How am i supposed to trust that? its a chinese corporation, of course they would say that!

In any case using a browser thats open source like ungoogled chromium or pale moon is a much better bet for privacy

since people can actually vet the code

Do you know if Pale Moon has support for regular Firefox extensions?

I dunno, maybe legal filings within Norway and the EU

Which specific extensions? It is based on pre-quantum firefox

ooooo ok. NoScript, AdBlock/uOrigin mostly. They have pre-quantum versions out there I assume

uBlock origin just go to their girthub releases and use firefox-legacy

palemoon doesnt like noscript and blocks it by default, but theres a guide to get it in there

Thanks for the info my dude

heres the guide on making it as secure as possible

Dont be using tor while connected to a VPN. Quickest way to deanon yourself besides logging into your email while using TOR.

Connect to a VPN then open a TOR browser and go to whatsmyIP. Scary how it knows you are connected to a VPN AND TOR huh?

On the technical side, what's the problem with using a VPN with tor?

Why does it matter if people know you're using vpn/tor? Knowing that someone is hiding their identity doesn't tell you anything about their identity
