Activists can't be protected in a network which is only used by activists and
few other people.
Anonymity loves company.
And beside of this everyone deserves the right of privacy.
So the goal for tor should be to provide anonymous browsing for everyone all
the time.
Let's keep in mind that using Tor for bittorrent for example is just plainly
stupid, as it will provide little if any anonimity.
I agree with everything else that has been said, Tor needs to be a tool used
for everyday browser, so that the sensitive browsing done by activists and
such
I think also the developers of free software tools like totem/vlc or a pdf
viewer could help the tor project very much with little effort by just
implementing an offline option which makes sure that the program will not
connect to the internet and harm privacy (and I'm really surprised that
I guess that torify command is good solution for turning all importent
traffic to TOR. For example you can change your ~/.bashrc and add some
aliases such as alias pidgin='torify pidgin' et cetera for all your network
applications )
So you have JS still disabled though tor browser has it enabled by default?
I don't really know what's the right thing to do here.
At the moment I really do a lot of reading on tor and start to use tor
browser for my every day browsing, but I'm still a bit skeptical about it
(like about any
I didn't say that I have JS disabled ;)
What I said was i tried html5 player without JS and it works ;)
To your question, there is no perfect answer. Should JS be disabled or
enabled by default?
Tor Browser Bundle is a tool that millions of people use, and most of them
need for it to be as
Well, in fact we do... HTML5 is a player that can load any video, Tor Browser
supports it very well. The problem is the video format/codec. Most websites
use mp4 and flv. Firefox (and Tor Browser of course) don't have those
patented codecs. Only can play webm and ogg. That's why MediaGobblin
In short, don't.
Look, when you use a plugin or addon, that piece of software might not obey
the proxy settings, or it might gather some identifying information on your
computer that might de-anonymize you. It doesn't matter that it's free
software, free software respects the user, but most
Okay this makes sense. I think it would be great to have some tor-friendly
free-software video player.
Thanks for the explanation!
I think it's better to use Tor Browser Bundle because is full supported and
tested by thousands of people. Other configurations, as said, may leaks info
dangerous for your anonimity.
As use case I think you can use TBB for all usual surfing activity, except
for those that can reveal your
I think that if you want to use Tor and be sure that you are somewhat
protected, you should begin by doing a little research on what Tor is and how
it works.

A short question: if I activate the totem plugin in tor browser bundle this
should be ok, shouldn't it?
I mean how should a free-software video plugin compromise me?
Or am I missing something?
I'm not very familiar with tor.
I would like to use tor browser bundle with greasemonkey and viewtube.

I asked about using Tor for all of my Internet traffic on my Trisquel
netbook. Is it possible to configure all of my networked applications to use
Tor, much like using Orbot on my Replicant
Can I get Abrowser to talk to Tor?
Yes, you can! Just follow the procedure described here to install Tor, then
install a Firefox plugin called QuickProxy by clicking on this link, then
setup Abrowser using the attached screenshot.
Note that the plugins might compromise tor.
