1 more option: All

I use them all, it depends on where I am and on which machine I am working, I understand that Tor+VPN is the best option to maintain privacy and navigate safely, including browsing Bitcointalk.

Vote for Chrome since I'm using Chrome right now

I guess Tor probably will win, since most of many members here is really pay attention about his privacy on this forum or cryptocurrency.


Just curious, have you vote it? or not yet?

Well this may be part of the debate for another thread, there is a lot of discussion about using Tor + VPN has its advantages and disadvantages, here is a link:

I think the main thing is to choose a correct VPN and the settings used.



Yes.

Thx, RapTarX

Maybe I will be the only one, but it is good to know how others work.

I'm just using the Chrome browser most of the time since its fast, I've tried using the TOR browser but I encounter a lot of problems maybe because of my slow internet connection dealing with the captcha and re-login in TOR is annoying to me.

Even using VPN in chrome is affecting my internet speed, also I read a lot about this brave browser and I think I'm going to try using it.

That is my point. I can see you use Tor for privacy but then Chrome destroys that purspose. Or it is just Bitcointalk privacy is not your concern. FYI, firefox has a mobile version and it runs well.

I'm well aware of that, but that is the statistics for the general population, and we know the vast majority of people are not tech savvy. People who are interested in bitcoin are supposedly interested in privacy and not trusting third parties with all of their information. It is a complete contradiction to be interested in the freedom that bitcoin provides whilst also letting Google monitor everything you do online, every word you search, every page you view, every image you look at, every link you click, every file you download, every post you make.

I don't know which conclusion is worse - that people interested in not trusting third parties with bitcoin have no concept of doing the same with their data, or that the majority of people using bitcoin don't actually care in the slightest about not trusting third parties and use bitcoin only to try to make personal profit. I know which conclusion is more likely, though.

You could use the Orbot app which routes all your mobile data through Tor, and then use a non-spyware browser like Firefox or DuckDuckGo.

I have voted for chrome browser. Generally 95% of the time I am using chrome browser. And sometimes try to use brave and firefox, very rarely the tor, and sometimes VPN with chrome browser. The most boring thing to me when I try to use a VPN on mobile.

Chrome violates your privacy with all their trackers and data gathering they do basically everything you input in Chrome is being fed up to Google's database for analysis to boost their revenue. If you want a good alternative I think Firefox is the best choice right now as they value your privacy even if you are not using their privacy mode, also their browser has a built in protection for cryptojacking from websites that uses your pc's power to mine for them, this I think is really a no brainer for people who want a safe and private browser.

Firefox was my first preference and have been using it ever since I knew about the privacy issues of using Chrome. But since Q4 2019, I have been using Brave browser for my Mobile and Firefox for my Desktop. I enjoyed using Brave in my Mobile, but while using it on Desktop I got some lags, so I stayed with Firefox. Btw, I don't bother to use TOR or VPN and I never log out from my devices.

A bit concerning to see more than 40% of voters are using shitty Google Chrome. And 2 users voted Brave...Reveal yourself, Brave shills lol  

To those who voted for crappy Google Chrome, here are a few articles about this piece of poo of a web browser, hope it serves as a wake up call:

Why You Should Avoid Using Google Chrome

Goodbye, Chrome: Google’s Web browser has become spy software

Google tracked his bike ride past a burglarized home. That made him a suspect. (not Chrome related but still a good read about how Google is pretty much a tool for national and global surveillance)

This is literally in the top 5 list 'worst ways to use TOR'. Using a TOR with a VPN makes your connection much less private as the VPN can see (and possible log if it's one of those who keeps logs, almost every VPN does, though) your traffic while using TOR.

TOR+VPN is like using Bitcoin because it's pseudonymous and offers good privacy, but then you're using a third-party in every single transaction, not so secure and private anymore :/ Oh, and if you truly value your privacy, stop using a VPN unless it's hosted on your own local server.
