Hey folks, interesting discussion! I've got a question that may sound
simplistic, but I used to be a tech writer and I found that asking simplistic
questions was often illuminating.
I'm a recent convert to Triskel, the KDE version of Trisquel. I've got my
Tor browser running and it says it's happy on the Tor net. I understand the
reasons for excluding Flash and avoiding Javascript and so on. I also remain
an Opera fan to the point that I'm not yet willing to give up one of my four
favorite applications of all time, my emailer as well as my browser for well
over a decade.
So I'm wondering first if it's possible for a fully Tor'd browser and a
non-free app like Opera to co-exist peacefully on a Triskel system, and
second what you think and feel about the ethics of the situation. Could I
have Opera with a working Flash which I used when I didn't care about being
watched, and a Tor browser I used most of the time?
