What has happened to this forum/community?

TOR comes with a customized version of Firefox, so there should be no reason to use anything else that would be also used out of TOR. Or to use the specially customized FireFox out of TOR. But crazies being crazies anything is possible.

I do not like the idea that TOR be traceable. Too many people depend on it literally for their life that I hope totalitarian regimes never find a way to track people who access the Internet in countries where human rights are suppressed.

This is sad enough, but shows that basic security precautions must still be used with TOR, as with any system, really. I do not see Xojo using spyware to track indelicate trolls as well :wink:

that was a great book. I read it twice on my flight from DCA to RTP (very very short flight for those of you not familiar with US airports). Then twice more on the return flight. Very short book but well worth the read. it says a lot without saying much.

or at least that is my opinion…
