| Sep 19, 2017 at 2:11 | comment | added | Roberto | New identity for what? I do not need the "New Identity" option in Tor Browser if I delete the existing Tor Browser and replace for a new one every time I want to use a "New Identity". | |
| Sep 19, 2017 at 0:58 | comment | added | cacahuatl | Right but New Identity also wouldn't work properly. | |
| Sep 18, 2017 at 23:42 | comment | added | Roberto | "you can probably be fingerprinted through supercookies or cache between uses of new identity". That's why I do not leave my Tor Browser on disk, in addition it is completely deleted every time I finish using it or want to change identity. Supercookies or cache can not survive this. | |
| Sep 18, 2017 at 23:28 | comment | added | cacahuatl | "this is not a threat to me because I already take some precautions" it is if your need long-term unlinkability. | |
| Sep 18, 2017 at 23:27 | comment | added | cacahuatl | "the result is identical to the original browser setting." those tests are heuristic and you can likely be fingerprinted through supercookies or cache between uses of new identity. | |
| Sep 18, 2017 at 23:24 | comment | added | Roberto | I use tor browser in linux behind a transparent tor proxy without flash and no java installed, so I do not mind installing some extensions in the browser, this is not a threat to me because I already take some precautions. It is true that the tor browser is not meant to install extensions, however I install some extensions that work very well. As I said, the extension worked on earlier versions of the tor browser with the same configuration, which is why I asked if anyone knew a solution to the new problem. | |
| Sep 18, 2017 at 23:23 | comment | added | Roberto | Private mode is neither important nor useful to me because, as I said, my browser runs in a ramdrive, all browsing data is lost when I turn off the computer. The private browsing mode is stupid because when the browser breaks I lose my whole session, that's why I do not use it. I turn off private browsing mode and set to Never Accept third party cookies, and check if my setting is good on sites like "ip-check.info" and the result is identical to the original Tor Browser setting. | |
| Sep 18, 2017 at 19:27 | comment | added | cacahuatl | Right, Tor Browser also patches how cookies are handled for private data also enjoy destroying your anonymity by changing the private browsing mode setting. And once again, add-ons aren't supported. | |
| Sep 16, 2017 at 4:16 | comment | added | Roberto | @canonizingironize, that is not the case because I disable de private mode ever, I never use the Tor Browser with private mode enabled. I ever uncheck "Always use private browsing mode" in "preferences>privacy". My browser run in a ramdrive, so if my computer shutdow all my private data vanishes, so I do not care about stored history, that is not dangerous for me. I copy a configured Tor Browser to ramdrive every time I run it. Even with private mode disabled, my add-on do not work, the cookies are imported but the browser behave as if that never happens. | |
| Sep 13, 2017 at 4:40 | comment | added | cacahuatl | In private browser mode extensions/addons no longer have access to cookies and add-ons aren't supported. | |
