K...  question. Has it not been publicized 100,000 times that Tor is not anonymous? Or are all those articles BS, because i swear it's not and that comes out in a new media outlet once a week?

Also. Hell yeah. The Bitcoin browser. Has a nice ring to it. Much Firefox Bitcoin integration app to follow?

Tor is not anonymous how to protect user's anonymity?

Maybe its time I switch back to Firefox. I knew there was a reason I liked them in the first place

Great news for bitcoin and as well firefox developers, I always see this donate/contribute button right next to firefox addons and I always wondered why they don't take bitcoin which would make it so easy for them to accept tips and now they can . This will definitely encourage more developers to design more great extension.

It will be interesting to see if they plan to incorporate any security features via the Bitcoin Blockchain.

Well that's nice I remember seeing a thread where users was retweeting "mozilla should use bitcoin" or something like that. :p so I guess it worked :p

Tor is not anonymous how to protect user's anonymity?

The FBI in the US have licenced a software programme called RAP BACK which has many different functions. One function of Rap Back is being able to follow Tor routes. it was the initiation of Rap Back which closed down the darknet markets couple of weeks back. They have also sold licence of Rap Back to UK but it is yet to be implemented. Nothing is anonymous anymore.

Tor can be considerably more anonymous than not Tor.

Tor can be more anonymous than the FBI would have you believe, as it benefits them for "criminals" to be scared. (It was hidden services that were located recently, not necessarily actual users.)

Tor is not perfectly anonymous.

Tor can be completely non-anonymous and even *worse* than clearnet if you don't know what you are doing. (e.g. if not using https then your communications are most definitely being read by a multitude of malicious peoples.)

Making use of an email account for buying some drugs that you have used - just once - when not on Tor? Busted.

That's great news! I use mozilla for like two years now, and it's great to see them accept Bitcoin donations  

I will definitely make a Bitcoin donation. Hope other tech and non tech related companies will follow.

I'm no expert but how could they do that? I keep hearing about all the different uses the blockchain can be used for but haven't really read anything that explains it simply. Is there any articles showing all the different possible uses of the blockchain technology?

[Sutters Mill]

Glad to see they finally caved in to requests. Just shows that if people ask we can sway companies to get involved. There's no reason why companies shouldn't accept btc donations as it is costless to them and also very likely cheaper than accepting donations via Paypal and creditcards etc.

It's probably easier to list the things that the Blockchain can't make better.
