privacy has nothing to do with having something to hide. Instead, privacy means protecting the human being that you are, all the personal details that make you, you. What you care about, what you love, what you hate, what you are curious about, what makes you laugh, what you fear. And most importantly, choosing when you decide to share that information and who you share it with.

it is possible to build technology used by millions of people with privacy at the heart. We build technology to advance that right in order to help users reclaim their agency in digital spaces.

(But by default, Tor Browser is not shipped with uBlock Origin.)

Thanks for the suggestion. ONION LINK added in the post. The main link itself is intentionally clearnet, for happiness shall be in heaven over one non-Tor user who feels curious about Tor and privacy, more than over 99 right users, who already use TB 24/7. (Luke 15:7)

TB recently gets rid of blockchair: http://eweiibe6tdjsdprb4px6rqrzzcsi22m4koia44kc5pcjr7nec2rlxyad.onion/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/42283
and is planning to get rid of Google etc. from its Search Engine Options http://eweiibe6tdjsdprb4px6rqrzzcsi22m4koia44kc5pcjr7nec2rlxyad.onion/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/41835

Totally agree. More options are better. And I'm glad you left the clearnet link up as well.

I didn't know about the blockchair or Google stuff, so appreciate the extra deets.

The blog post says, “it is possible to build technology used by millions of people with privacy at the heart.” which is also related to Monero, for example. It’s related to online privacy in general, not exclusively about Tor. For example, it includes a clear answer to the “Nothing to hide” argument:

It’d be nice if even a single non-Tor user is interested in this… but if the link is onion, a non-Tor user can’t read it! Hence a clearnet link… Does that make sense? I too agree with you that, basically, we better promote onion when available. Except I wanted to share the link with people in general, non-Tor users too :)

We are in full agreement. I did not mean my comment in a challenging way, just hoping to add to the discussion, which I have since you added the onion. Definitely best to have both links.

I appreciate your efforts here on Lemmy. Always good new content to view from you when I check in, Saki.
