TOR is terribly inconvenient, I'd rather continue to use Opera. Most users do not need it at all, as well as its use, this option is more suitable for those who are completely turned on privacy or those who have something to hide. There is a strong opinion that privacy is a myth, and if really want to, will still find you.
Why Opera and not another browser? For example, Firefox. Will Opera be able to provide a level of privacy at least close to TOR, or have you chosen what is convenient and familiar to you without giving a damn about privacy?


I disagree; you should try it out. In my experience, websites did load pretty slowly a few years back. But nowadays, it has gotten a lot better, especially if the website doesn't need JavaScript and doesn't use lots of graphics (like Bitcointalk).

I tried repeatedly. He loses on almost all fronts. Moreover, TOR itself does not provide proper privacy, without the necessary settings. I do not argue, it's a matter of habit, but for most users, this TOR will instill not a sense of privacy, but a feeling of irritation. And then they think for a moment, why the hell do they even need this privacy? For what? And after that, they will choose what is more convenient.
But other browsers also need to be configured before initial use, and not use the default settings.

Although, you can’t argue here: most users will always choose convenience and practicality over privacy.

So having a reputation doesn't go with having privacy.
i have to agree with this statement. it's difficult to choose both coz eventually you'll have to choose one and proceed with that.

i do prefer using my opera rather than tor and changing browsers is not that convenient for me, i have tried tor once and we are not compatible so i just choose a browser which is convenient for me.

Thank you for this guide, certainly very useful especially in countries where there is repression.
It is not only useful for using bitcointalk but in general where some things are not allowed.
But does TOR for example work in China? I've always wondered about this.

But does TOR for example work in China? I've always wondered about this.

According to what can be read on the official site TOR can be used in China, but requires some additional actions by users. It would be interesting to know how many people in China use TOR or VPN, or how many dare to go against the regime, given the penalties in that country. I assume that every ISP can see what the user is doing, and therefore I do not doubt that the Chinese ISPs in its fanatical surveillance monitors these activities as well.

There are three options to unblock Tor in China:

Snowflake: uses ephemeral proxies to connect to the Tor network. It's available in Tor Browser and other Tor powered apps like Orbot. You can select Snowflake from Tor Browser's built-in bridge menu.

Private and unlisted obfs4 bridges: contact our Telegram Bot @GetBridgesBot and type /bridges. Or send an email to frontdesk@torproject.org with the phrase "private bridge cn" in the subject of the email. If you are tech-savvy, you can run your own obfs4 bridge from outside China. Remember that bridges distributed by BridgeDB, and built-in obfs4 bridges bundled in Tor Browser most likely won't work.

meek-azure: makes it look like you are browsing a Microsoft website instead of using Tor. However, because it has a bandwidth limitation, this option will be quite slow. You can select meek-azure from Tor Browser's built-in bridges dropdown.

Online wallet, one email for all services, one password for all services - this is the harsh reality of most crypto users.

For many of them it is enough and it does not raise any problems for them. It is common for other services like normal banking as well. Some bad instances may occur to some users but for majority, life will complete peacefully even after not following the precautions in this thread.

Well, too late Sad And that's the thing with privacy: once it's gone, you can't get it back.

But it is never late to learn something new. The information shared in this thread may be useful while using other sites on internet in future.

You're missing the point: I'm much less worried about my privacy on KnittingParadise.com than I am on Bitcointalk. I'm pretty sure a knitting granny doesn't do $5 wrench attacks to steel my wool.
I left you neutral feedback from LoyceMobile (not on DT) after your plagiarism in January. I've replaced it by the same feedback from this account.
