The downside of everything being federated is that it’s really easy to listen in. Make sure to keep yourself anonymous online!

Tor is still alive and well I promise
It is not perfect but it is by far the best thing we have. If it’s legal for you to use you should be doing so.
For sensitive operations you should take further steps (follow the blog) like properly setting up your device, and connecting via a network not connected to you
what if I prefer mozilla firefox? Ive heard when you check every data security option the browser is private enough
Whats the difference
No, they’re not the same.
Tor browser gives you ANONYMITY, which is not the same as privacy.
What is Anonymity ? Why is it Important ? http://blog.nowherejezfoltodf4jiyl6r56jnzintap5vyjlia7fkirfsnfizflqd.onion/opsec/anonymityexplained/index.html
Why isn’t privacy enough for anonymous use?

(BTW stock Firefox is not even private at all)
these websites dont work for me… and the link looks very wrong - do you have like more accessible sources for me? Id be very thankful
These are .onion Tor hidden services (darknet sites)
To access them you must use Tor Browser

also - why is ublock for example not anonymous enough? doesnt it provide anything??
Like Id love to be able to see the full picture on this matter and weight at least all major arguments. like, is the distincion here the one tries to block corporations within their legally bound operations and the other(tor) tries to make everyone, even “hackers” unable to see what IP I have?
Im quite lacking in knowledge on this topic
That is a very bad idea
Use Tor since For is designed to make every user apprear identical. Firefox is packed full of telemetry and leaves a pretty heavy fingerprint.
