Sorry for top posting last time. Well, actually, even the first question is not settled in the light of what I said about VPN. Even without VPN, if I type google.com sitting in India, I get redirected to Google India. I have tried many times over VPN and I always type news.google.com and I get redirected to whatever setting the *exit node’s* browser has, not my browser. You can reproduce it too by using a VPN and selecting a server in some other non-English speaking country. Why is that one always gets the impression that world means the US or perhaps Europe also? You don’t know what it is in India, for example. And on Tor, I was always redirected in this way, which I had noticed, but had forgotten as it was long ago. On Tor over Whonix in Qubes OS, I am always getting the US news in English, whereas I should be getting redirected as per the settings of exit node’s Tor Browser. This used to happen earlier without Qubes OS. But I don’t think it has anything to do (directly) with Qubes OS or Whonix or Tor Browser. It most probably shows that data-based machine learning (AI) is happening to de-anonymise Tor traffic, whether at Google’s end or service provider’s end I don’t know. What I do know, as I said earlier about active research going on in this area. I work in AI and Natural Language Processing and I know that it is easy to to it with some degree of accuracy. Even I could do it if I had the dataset. And second question still remains: the freezings, the crashes and the corrupted context menu. > > -- अनिल एकलव्य (Anil Eklavya) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
