Based Browser Introduces Tor Tabs

How's that working out for ya faggot.

Please don't.

They probably just proxy this tab through tor daemon without caring about fingerprinting
Into the trash it goes

Mozilla has helped Brave grow a lot because they have mismanaged Firefox so terribly. Yay sjws!

The only thing that's missing for me to use it is a umatrix firewall.

Great! Where's the newest source tarball?

Time to clarify things

Incorrect. Brave is Free Software, with source available on Github.
github.com/brave/browser-laptop
When you first install Brave browser, this feature is disabled. You have to manually switch the settings to enable ad replacement. There are 3 settings you can choose from. "Allow Ads and Tracking", which disables all protections, "Block Ads", which runs a regular adblocker, and "Show Brave Ads" which is the ad replacement. If I remember correctly, the default is "Block Ads".
Additionally, I would trust Brave ads over Google ads in terms of respect for user privacy. You don't have to see either though, and I personally keep my settings to "Block Ads"
Coming next month.

I thought it was proprietary (believed Zig Forums LARPers) so I was jesting, but I might actually try it now.

Truly the FUD is real.

does it still leak real canvas data? If so, no thanks, not using it for derpweb browsing

And how is this better than Firefox? It doesn't even use Rust!

Get a job, webshit. I ain't gonna pay your hosting fees with my private data and attention. Web ads are like ad banners on architecture. You have the right to put them on your property, but don't expect people to visit your place very often because of that. You want to earn money? Start selling a product, not air, you filthy kike.

spyware.neocities.org/articles/brave.html

enjoy this

Is the guy who makes these articles Canadian?

No kidding.

You realize Brave's ad-replacer steals the user's data while simultaneously reducing the website's revenue. Bad for the user, bad for the website, only good for (((Eich))).
But hey, he's totally our guy, he said something to pass off SJWs, so he's one of us. Surely that wasn't some sort of marketing ploy to fool retards.

I hope you never complain about botnets or normieweb since you personally ensure they triumph.

I don't even think people should be allowed to put ads on "their property", unless its inside. I mean the photons still reach me.

I hope it emulates the tor browser perfectly. Who am I kidding. They a probably already have the technology to distinguish the two.
Hint: blocking ads reduces your anonymity

This is not true or false.
It would reduce anonymity if people would have different set rules on the *blockers. But if there's already a number of settings that people can use in the Tor browser then it's ok. Otherwise tor wouldn't provide three settings to have a no|medium|full block of certain functions in the browser.

You can disable canvas in every Firefox/Firefox forks which have canvas.

Set fixed window size, hack javascript timings a little. These are the fingerprint preventions that Tor Browser has and can't be configured in the official version of Firefox.

Depends on how you block ads. Not loading or not displaying them?

I highly doubt not loading 30 ad sites on 50 domains with full referrer (the Tor Browser default) gives less network fingerprint than blocking all 3rd-party connections and not sending/spoofing referrers.

Tails users already have uBlock Origin.

*fix* I highly doubt not loading

Yes. Unfortunately, the regular tor browser doesn't and hasn't ever used an ad blocker.
I honestly think this is one of the worst decisions the tor project has ever made.

You might like North Korea (until it gets zogged), I recall from those youtube tours that not a single billboard or nigger was visible on the main roads.

Tor browser didn't even fix scrollbar width detection yet, and they talk about merging into one project with Mozilla. Imagine how much userbase would it lose in oppressive countries the day after they announce a default Tor support in Firefox, and how much network would stress with all normalfags watching their porn in "private mode".

But uBlock in Tails is configured to block only basic ads, not all country-specific domains which pretty much moots the point of using adblocker to block (hide) ads, and when some users will start setting different lists, here you go - different fingerprints and less privacy. Ad blockers were never designed to protect user's privacy, rather to lower network traffic and speeding up browsers. By checking which ad domains user loads and which he doesn't it is possible for sites to track. However it would be nice to drop NoScript malware in favor uMatrix instead.
I'd like to mention here that I see a lot of shortsighted "everything is botnet, disable it and use X extensions for Firefox or this obscure browser with spoofed User agent" attitude on tech image boards by people who don't fully understand the situation. Tor Browser itself is a good enough anonymizing tool within the Tor network, but using similar approach to privacy and anonymity on clearnet would result in you sticking out even more. Real life example: If a group of people wears Guy Fawkes masks sanitized identical browser fingerprint, they are indistinguishable (anonymous) when holding as a group Exit nodes. But if you put on a mask in a crowd of people without masks, despite seemingly giving less information about your face, you still leak ton of metadata to an observer such as: you have something to hide, your iris color, your directions and walking speed, your pace, who you talk to and what you talk about, voice samples. A good scenario would be to put on other people's faces, some mass market generic clothes and adopting their behavioral patterns [spoiler]a large chunk of browser fingerprintable metadata like custom canvas, font spoofing, is ignored by Tor Project and average imageboard paranoiacs who think they're anonymous by using Lynx over VPN /spoiler]
How many people do you think use Tor browser with JS off? And how many of them don't resize default window even while accidentally clicking on borders? What if people who do these two things are in minority and thus, end being more fingerprintable? Think about it.

with 3rd-party connection blocking and referrer spoofing: the government might be able to time correlate some traffic and missing traffic
Tor Browser with default settings: clicks and site visits are broadcasted to multiple profiling agencies even if Tor uses different circuits for opening the ad domains

Pick your poison...

The fact that gay Pocket extension comes enabled is enough to make me stop using Firefox. I occasionally use it because I know how to use about:config but I imagine most users have no idea what that even means.

*Please* tell me you take your prejs.js file with you, so you don't have to manually configure about:config everytime. It seems like most people don't do this.

Cool, but botnet.
Basically, someone add this to Iridium.

Wow, you don't understand Tor.
The more people that use it the more noise there is, the harder timing attacks are. The more people that are made aware of Tor the more nodes there are the harder it is to pull of a sybil.

There is no actual downside as long as you, an enlightened autist don't use the botnet browser. Small steps for the normies are needed.

Effectively camouflaging yourself against the noise of other Tor users relies on the browser fingerprints of each user being as close to identical as possible, if not wholly identical. Introducing users that each provide unique fingerprints through the Brave browser will make it more difficult for users of the Tor Browser Bundle to mask themselves.

That is, unless Brave has its Tor Tabs feature implemented in such a way to make its users indistinguishable from TBB users, or provide a large enough set of users with an identical Brave fingerprint that it creates a different kind of noise.

I doubt they're smart enough to integrate Tor but too dumb to prevent basic fingerprinting

Isn't is humorous the number of shills that magically appear out of the woodwork here whenever an actual advance in security or privacy is discussed?

It's a shame these threads get filled with so many ill-informed posts. If people would actually do some basic research posts like the following one wouldn't happen.

This is actually incorrect. All of the data is stored locally within the browser, and it pretty much the same data that is stored normally by browsers (stuff like history). This is also opt-in; the default behavior is just to block all ads and tracking.
Actually, websites receive a larger share of revenue from Brave than they do normally:

I don't believe he's Jewish actually.

Now, I don't use Brave myself. I require better add-on support than it currently provides. But for normalfags, it is probably THE best browser, especially in the mobile space.

k lynx pls

Brave isn't Firefox, not even based on Gecko, Cirnofag

Iridium source isn't updated anymore, and still uses Google blobs AFAIK

maybe they're assuming that this integration is to increase anonymity and privacy of Brave lusers, rather than to add more unwashed masses to TOR and thus more anonymity for correctly configured traffic

it still isn't I2P-tier though

Yo, do not trust anything about browsers. Mozilla is by far the most aggressive when it comes to spreading misinformation, both about themselves and their competition. Obviously with Google backing Chrome, and them being in the business of advertising, you can't trust them either.

Chrome is desperate to stay ahead while Firefox is trying not to die. They're both inclined to shit on everyone else and lie about how better they are. If people find out there's something legitimately better, they might switch to it and the current vendors dominating the market will lose their funding, influence, etc.

As a Firefox user, I'm desperate to jump ship. Vivaldi, Brave, Otter, and even Falkon are looking interesting. Brave stands a chance to become top contender in my list there, currently held by Vivaldi. None seem good enough yet, but now it's looking like some might be viable alternatives soon enough.

You're doing it all wrong, that's not how you're supposed to use Tor.

You have to go back.

Fuck you nigger.

This. Firefox used to be the power user's browser, now it's some kind of luser-catering bloatware that has no idea what it's own purpose even is.

>>>/g/

shut the fuck up faggot. proxying connections is literally 5 lines of code even when you implement socks yourself. reducing fingerprint is much harder

isn't it humorous that when a shit thread appears a bunch of nigtards appear out of the woodwork

...

t. OP sympathizer

Firefox is still the power user's browser. The source code is still available for all power users to modify.

>This incessant shilling of (((brave)))
Get out faggots you're not welcome and never will be

...

user, this has already been debunked.
github.com/brave/browser-laptop

It is free software. Ask rms himself if you care so much.

Brave is less botnet than Firefox according to your shitty website.

What browser do you use?

It still reduces a lot of the possible correlation to only three vector. Not like ublock origin who could produce a new fingerprint for each website depending on what it blocks or not.
I suppose one of the reasons that tor introduced that function was because of journalist who whined about how it would be unfriendly for the mass to use. I have to note tho that this filter would not be necessary if JavaScript or similar would have never been added in the web.

I use Pale Moon for most of my browsing. I find that it fits my particular use case very well. However, sometimes I run across a site that doesn't render properly for whatever reason that I have to access for work or uni or something. For those, I keep a secondary "suck" browser for websites that suck. For that, I use Iridium, configured with safe browsing turned off and privacy badger installed. I also have a couple of light browsers that I mainly use for checking news: my favorite of which is links2 running in graphical mode, though netsurf is also pretty good. It's a bit of a disk bloated setup, but it works well for what I need.

If you genuinely think it's just the useragent, you need to read up on common user tracking methods and what tor browser does to prevent it...

Also this thread is cancer fuck brave

Just wait till sometime next month. Brave will have full addon support and I can't wait!

lel

Firefox is for gay niggers to be honest.

If they add in-browser torrent support like old opera I might consider using it.

They already do that. Whenever you download a torrent it downloads within Brave through an add-on.

Interesting. Did they ever get around to copy/paste support in android?

What is copy/paste support?

wats dis

its fucking bullshit, tor.exe starts running and connecting over clearnet without even a warning, the moment you open Brave.

Glad my application firewall caught it, fuck them for announcing to my ISP "HEY GUISE IM BEING SUPER SECRET RN"

tor should only be used over personal vpn

...

goth gf wannabe

Autist detected

Actually both. See her twatter account.

I literally do not give one shit if 75% of my operating system is open source as long as it has good software. It just so happens that most of the time open source software beats out proprietary shitware

not the point
the point is women can't code, male chinks CAN code better than women

The mismanagement started on Eich's watch, learn your history already. The problem is a greedy corporate executive culture despite being a "non-profit", not identity politicking.

Of course it started, those SJW's didn't creep to influential enough positions to kick out Eich for wrongthink overnight. Could Eich have prevented it? Yes. In that sense fault indeed was in his mismanagement. Problem with cuckservatives is tolerance and genuine belief in goodness of people. That's why he didn't purge Mozilla like he should have done.

The problems started right around the tail end of v3/start of v4, this was a long time before gamergate, codes of conduct, and other SJW shit in Silicon Valley. But go ahead, keep sucking corporate cock just because their identity politics align with your. I'm sure Mr. Javascript's next browser will be a treat. Unlike Firefox which has been killing itself for years trying to ape Chrome, his next browser is built directly on Chrome code, so you can tell it's already striving to be high quality.

blocking is okay but stealing advertisement space is fucking jewish
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

This. Sjws will virtue signal unless you oust them before they fuck you in the ass.

A retard is what you are, normalizing Tor solves the exact same problem you're describing.

noob

This.

She is Satana.

...

Tor is leaky on brave. Wait until they patch the privacy/security issues. 1.0 should be the release when Brave becomes the best blink/webkit browser.

Firefox has more trackers integrated into the browser. Brave will actually be better for out of the box privacy than Firefox. The only thing missing is Firefox's superior browser engine and uBO+uMatrix by default.

That is a man, baby

No, this is Zig Forums fare 101, ARCHIVE EVERYTHING.

How is it leaky?

shut the fuck up retard

kys

They said so themselves. Read.

I did.

Originally the brave phone app wouldn't let you copy/paste, which was the most retarded thing ever.
That has changed.
