The downside of everything being federated is that it’s really easy to listen in. Make sure to keep yourself anonymous online!

    I didn’t say don’t use it, I am just making a note for those that don’t know Tor and expect it to be the 1 tool to rule them it all.

    Yes, some of the attacks I mentioned have been mitigated, but that’s no reason to assume it is 100% foolproof. Clearly, it wasn’t before.

      The browser is much weaker than the network itself. Stay up to date with security patches and run Tor in a live environment like Tails OS
