• Also, isn’t Tor still funded by the US govt? I feel like of you wanted a honeypot, there is no better option than Tor which is already under your wing.

      The reality is that there is NO completely anonymous network or proxy that can be 100% trusted. None. Because you have zero ways of independently verifying any of them. You’re better off, especially if you’re political dissident, using a network that might be/probably under surveillance from a country that aligns most with your ideology (Chinese networks if you’re a communist trying to push for communism in the West, for example). It’s a shame for us that it’s actually really hard to get access to a Chinese run VPN in the West. Don’t use a US-developed privacy network if you know the US is not going to like what you send on it is what I’m saying.

    • @nutomic @cypherpunks Who exactly do trust then comrade? I mean Swedish ISP Bahnhof has a very good reputation when it comes to end user privacy. They even hosted Julian Assanges Wikileaks server… But I mean just look at all the orwellian laws coming from Australia, America, England and the EU where do we go from here bro?? Chat Control, Investigatory powers act bill, Ass Access bill, Restrict Act bill, Chat control… D: World governments are making it hard to have any privacy anymore!

      • @Rickster @nutomic @cypherpunks As harder some pathetic governments are doing it to have some privacy and stop cancel culture, as faster we evolve towards alternative communication tools.

        They can control even the whole internet. We will ditch this service and use mesh networks. Without us paying for the internet, the service will become obsolete.

        • @mariubrlu @nutomic @cypherpunks Yeah I don’t care where we are politically we all need to unite against a centralised, nation state controlled & fully walled up internet… If we don’t take a united stand against extremely overly broad all encompassing powers that Western governments are trying to give themselves over the internet. We will become China, we are not far off the chopping block to becoming China and having their internet where all non government approved stuff is criminalised!

        • The first thing i did upon installing the browser to test it is uninstall the VPN extention. Im very skeptical of the browser myself but im wondering how much grounds your argument against the browser holds. Wouldnt the open-source nature (and hence being able to create our own binaries) and the firefox base create a decent enough privacy experience? One could even scientifically test the telemetry with the right tools, right?

    • I’m wondering the same thing. Aside from encouraging people to use the default settings to make each user’s browser/session harder to properly fingerprint, I’m really curious what privacy benefits this new browser provides compared to alternatives like Librewolf, hardened Firefox, etc.
