It's not for anonymity (not as fine-tuned as Tails), but for maximum
security.
I'd love to make parts of my OS completely unavailable from the web though,
or even from other parts of my OS, though it seems it takes some time to get
used to the way Qubes work.
But I'm not sure I need this much security. Plus seeing how much time I've
spent on configuring my OS the way I want it (not even fully done yet), I'd
get insane with Qubes with it's hardware support issues inside each VM.
Most likely, I'd use different strategies:
- for banking and shopping (I don't mind using both in the same browser), and
maybe for some rare and specific browsing, I need JavaScript, which means a
dedicated browser firejailed. If I can, I'd use either another instance, or
another browser altogether for the rare JavaScript browsing that's not
banking nor shopping.
- for untrusted stuff, maybe a VM without external connections. Actually I
don't even need that.
- for personal stuff, I'd use a browser without Javascript and also
Firejailed, so that anything happening happens in a dedicated virtual folder,
nowhere else.
- not being online when I don't need to (I could make a shortcut for that,
though I doubt it would work for Ethernet connection).
This suits my personal needs.
Oh, and Tor for decent anonymity.
Tails is for the pros, the journalists etc. I'll probably never use it.
