It seems that you're using an outdated browser. Some things may not work as they should (or don't work at all).
We suggest you upgrade newer and better browser like: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Opera

GR00T: TOR
avatar
timppu: Good for visiting places where you don't want the site owners to know from where you are connecting. Like that one Finnish anarchist site that I sometimes visit, as they have apparently banned me there (not sure how, possibly IP based). Apparently they didn't like it when in one discussion I thanked the Finnish police for keeping the violent protesters at bay during the Finnish independence day celebrations (the anarchists always try to cause ruckus on the independence day, as if it is wrong to celebrate it; do they have the same in Canada and US?).

Bad for more established sites like gog.com where you log in, as TOR can't keep you logged in when you move to different pages on gog.com.
Yeah, we have the same problem. We also have these guys who like to mess with funerals.

EDIT:

On one hand, we have anarchists like Stefan Molyneux with a brain, and on the other you have to ask how these terrorist organizations manage to organize if that ends up being a form of government making them hypocrites.

Personally, I don't have the don't have the time to assess the thousands of branches of each browser or security protocols and such like. I have Firefox as default browser, and yes I don't like the new version (or the drm component in it now) but what are you going to do, this if the future. I also have chrome installed but don't use it very much at all. IE and Edge are defaulted in on windows and no matter what you try will always come back. Effectively, unless you pull the net cable out, you have very little and diminishing control over your computer at all. Either don't worry about it, or unplug.

Or you can learn what's going on. Your choice.

I tried the library in Firefox and put back the bookmarks shortcut within a few days. It did not suit how I work and use the browser but there are lots of people who never used the bookmarks function.

Interesting, personally I removed the bookmarks toolbar the first thing after installing FF. Now in bookmarks I might have a few thousand entries...

People are different which is why being able to customise the progams/apps is a good thing.

Maybe you have the time, that's great. There are literally branches of branches of browsers popping up daily, I don;t have time to follow it all, nor I expect do most people. Which is easier, pulling a cable out when not used, or spending X amount of hours looking up all the variants, scanning change logs on the various variants etc.

You should look up how they work, then you can more easily narrow things down to what you are really looking for.

We were waiting for nightcrawler to do it since he's Pale and Bitter. :)

Not sure what the issue with downloading was but I use this add on and it seems to return many of the functions that were removed:

TARFU: Browser advice:
That limitation is only valid for one platform. They also use different toolkits and rendering engines.

I mean, you should gentoo for some time...

I use Vivaldi and TOR as my two browsers. Some websites just don't load correctly for me. I have learned that some websites just will not pull up at all in any browser outside TOR and only on TOR if it routes through certain countries. We are defintely being fed censored web, just to a much smaller degree than Korea. But in most everyday type of thing, I use Vivaldi.
