Tor Browser is stored entirely in Whonix-Workstation's "private" storage (/rw/) - specifically, in /home/user/.tb/ Malicious code that resides in or alters code in an appVMs private storage will persist through reboots. Using a DisposableVM for general web browsing is a prudent idea. A custom disposableVM can be made using Whonix-Workstation as a template by following the instructions in the Qubes docs. ------------------------------------------------- ONLY AT VFEmail! - Use our Metadata Mitigator to keep your email out of the NSA's hands! $24.95 ONETIME Lifetime accounts with Privacy Features! 15GB disk!
