Tor is also noteworthy to be mentioned.
CIA honeypot
Then again, the guy recommended Proton
Proton is legit.
Don’t confuse privacy and anonymity.
What convinced you it’s a honeypot? I’ve been reading about it lately but remain unconvinced. Just curious
I believe the theory is it’s possible to de anonymize tor by controlling a majority of exit nodes which some people believe the government does
Another one to check out is I2P if you haven’t seen it
Makes sense, thanks for the response. I’ve set up I2P on my computer but haven’t used it much yet. I love the concept though
And as with every other of these browser lists some flavor of the month new firefox-based one wins. One that might or might not still exist in that form in another year (here it’s one that only exists as firefox release-based for a year - before that is was a fork from some old firefox version or even based on chrome at some point). 🥱
ungoogled chromium and floorp were the top tier, only one of them is ff based, neither one of them is new, both are weird choices for the top.
It ain’t really his top.
He said in the video that he uses Floorp and Chromium so he can’t put them in another tier.
What he thinks is best is in the tier under.
So he has ungoogled chromium, and floorp as top tier, uses them, but doesn’t see them as the best
Then he has vivaldi, watefox, librewolf, and zen in 2nd tier, but they are the best ones?
It’s like a tier list on reddit, someone just wanting to look at the pretty pictures while not making much sense
Some obvious omissions too: firedragon, mullvad, tor, ddg
00:48 nope, legitimacy lost.
