That’s not what I was talking about. The Tor network (onion routing) is a totally separate thing. Tor as an application has very good anti fingerprint protections. I was referring to that feature specifically not the rest of Tor.
Sure if you really wanna benefit, use Tor’s routing. But I am just admiring that the people that built Tor really knew what they were doing in all aspects of the application including the anti fingerprint protections.
Also get ready to throw your credit cards in the trash. They are tracking you. And while you’re at it, might as well throw away your computer.
I wonder if you don’t actually use tor but use their version of Firefox if you still get their anti fingerprint benefits, or if being one of the few tor users not using tor makes you too unique.
I found tor did a very good job of blending you into other tor traffic. But you are only as unique as 1 out of the total number of tor users.
Very little, but what you really need to consider is how much less wiping you will do.
Yeah literally it will change your life. Pretty easy to install too.
I don’t really know what I’m talking about tbh, but my understanding is the more unique you make yourself, the easier you are to identify. For example, as soon as you use an ad blocker, your browser fingerprint becomes more unique because your average person doesn’t use an ad blocker. Even fewer people use Tor. So if someone knows you are using Tor, then they know you are 1 of maybe 100,000 people instead of millions (idk if those numbers are accurate, but you get the point).
That being said, Tor does do a pretty good job of making you blend into all the other Tor users.
But what I was talking about initially was mostly your ISP identifying your Tor traffic. So you use a VPN, but again you are now more unique than someone not using a VPN, even if your traffic is more encrypted.
Yo chat, we’re cooked
I disagree. Fucking skibidi toilet living rent free in my head.
But Lemmy doesn’t require a phone number? Unless you’re saying you used the phone number to register an email, then used that email for Lemmy. I have a hard time believing your job would jump through that many hoops to track down your Lemmy comments. Seems like it wouldn’t be worth their time. Maybe the NSA.
What’s Emacs? Is it like Vim?
