What are the most needed addons for the TOR browser? I have ghostery,

>>59670804
ghostery sells data, do not use
also don't install random addons, they can leak data

>>59670804
You shouldn't use add ons in the Tor browser you fucking retard.

>>59670804
>What are the most needed addons for the TOR browser?
None. Tor was meant to be used as-is, without any potentially risky additions.

>>59670804
I like that one Stylish addon with themes and usually soke gamebaddons because there are gardlybany games on tor

>>59670804
Google Translate extension for those situations when you visit russian arm smuggling marketplaces.

>>59670852
It's not that the additions are risky, it's just that it gets reported to websites what add ons are installed. You want to blend in with other Tor users, not stick out by being the only retard to use some retarded add on.

This is bait

>>59670893
Exactly.

>>59670893

You seem educated on the matter.

>>59673665
Yes JavaScript is blocked by default because it's dangerous as fug, Java drivebys by RuneScape baiters can put a rat on your PC so just imagine what the CIA or NSA are capable of

>>59673732
It might be. There was the recent case where the FBI dropped a ton of child pornography charges in order to keep however they found these people a secret.

there is no way for you to know that

this is what happened to hidemyass

they claimed they didn't log anything, government came a-knockin' and WOOPS! it turns out they did keep logs of everything.

>>59675409
And why would you do that? Tor even configured in a way to make it faster is still slow.

>>59675452
Screens resolution can be determined even without JS. If you care enough, don't resize it.

>>59675359
how does it make you feel to know that you're this retarded?

>>59675452
You have to be trolling at this point

The reason to use the default plugins is because it does not allow you to be individually fingerprinted among all of the other Tor users

changing which scripts you block and don't block by fucking with the default plugins just singles you out from the crowd

All of this stuff is literally on the tor website, I don't know why you keep bothering us with it.

>>59675457
Here's what I don't get: if a VPN claims to not keep logs, what benefit is it to them to lie and actually keep the logs? What am I missing?

>>59675805
Because they can sell it. Are you asking why someone would want easy money?

>>59675805
One reasonable answer is incompetence. Another is that the VPN might be a honeypot. Or they are trying to profit off the data. Who knows. All I know is that it has happened in the past and it's very likely happening right now.

>>59675840
>>59675861
>profiting off the data

How much could they possibly make from this? Google, Microsoft, etc. could make a shit load because they have many millions or even a billion users. How many does a medium sized VPN have? Thousands, if that? Is it worth risking your business over it? I don't think so.

>>59675939
Jesus you are insufferable

Who knows

That's the fucking answer right there

Can you vet it? No. OK, it has to be considered insecure from a security protocol.

It's likely they aren't trying to profit from it directly right now. It could just be a honeypot. Maybe they will use it for an exit scam. Maybe they will use it to blackmail their users.

I don't fucking know because I'm not a diabolical asshole selling user data on the darknet

But I know that type of data is there so SOMEONE is doing it. I also know other highly touted VPNs have been caught storing user data and logs. It only makes sense that others are doing it as well.

Its true what you said though.

I always thought it would be harder for a hacker or something to get your IP if you have a VPN.

>>59676204
>I read that
You sure did

>>59676204
"hacker" is such a useless term. the question is WHO is hacking you and HOW MUCH MONEY do they have?

All of these security measures have pros and cons depending on your threat vector

Tor falls under the "I will be locked up by the government" vector so anything that you put between you and Tor is an additional risk

If your goal is to avoid website tracking then a vpn might be a suitable compromise

If you don't trust your ISP then the question comes down to: do I trust my VPN MORE than my ISP?

If you are trying obfuscate activity on the clearnet then you have to assume that your VPN is safe and use a shared IP pool for plausible deniability

if you are using tor you have to worry about the exit nodes parsing your data

you can run tor->VPN but in that case your VPN is still the weak link

You can run your own VPN on a VPS host but then the question comes down to...do you trust your VPS host?

there's not a one-size fits all answer

I can't remember the VPN now but there was a story a while ago of a well known VPN that had absolutely no logging as per their contract. However, one of their users was found to be stalking and harassing a young woman after she complained to the police and they went to the VPN provider. They didn't turn over logs, but, they did set up a real-time trace to get the guy in action.

Moral of the story? They may not 'log' anything, but that doesn't stop them from tracing users upon request.

>>59674141

>>59677439
Close and open Tor again, should open with its optimal size. If you mistakenly click the window edges consider the window resized.

>>59676659
But I am 100% sure that my ISP does keep logs, and will give them up if asked. I also know that soon they're gonna be selling internet history.
