Timing Attacks:
Having another non-Tor browser open will deanonymize you if it is correlated with the information the other browsers/programs provided. This means that you should avoid visiting the same websites, using the same accounts, etc.
Assume that you have two accounts on a website, a public account which you access with a regular connection and a ...

The NEWNYM signal doesn't change circuits for existing connections, it only marks existing circuits as "dirty", which makes them unusable for new connections. So in addition to sending a NEWNYM signal, you probably want to also close all existing connections.
I think that Tor Browser itself doesn't use the NEWNYM signal, but instead uses stream ...

As far as I know the only extra feature that Tor Browser implements compared to Firefox to block fraudulent/hijacked webpages is the inclusion of the HTTPS Everywhere extension, which forces HTTPS on some specific websites. This helps to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks such as SSL stripping which can show the attacker's webpage rather than the real webpage,...

Example addon: Last Pass Password Manager (there are many others)
Last Pass Password Manager is a ...

It is possible that NoScript means allowing JavaScript to run unrestricted in general, not just in the Tor browser but also all browsers, can be very dangerous since after all, it can lead to tracking, XSS, Cross-Site Request Forgery after all. However, if NoScript specifically means allowing JavaScript in Tor browser is dangerous, it could be due to the ...

This post on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/TOR/comments/8x7dwj/why_public_wifi/ is a good source to answer this question. As one Reddit use stated, if your Internet Service Provider can see you are using Tor (assuming you directly connecting to the guard node) and is also the Internet Service Provider of the connection endpoint like the website (which is ...

Twitter is probably using the canvas to manipulate the photo. There are several other posts about Twitter photo uploads not working due to the canvas, but last year Tor Browser changed the canvas extraction to return a pattern of random colors, which is probably the new behaviour you're seeing. You can try temporarily disabling the privacy....

I know this doesn't specifically answer your question, but I strongly discourage using Last Pass or for that matter any Firefox addon (plugins/extension) while using the Tor browser (which the Tor project also says). The Tor Project explains that addons can connect to the internet insecurely and can potentially leak your IP address on the internet. The whole ...

Mozilla Firefox 78.6.1esr and
