Or has that changed? No, you do not have to login to youtube, nor even visit their youtube/html5 page to set the cookie. The current version of torbrowser enables html5 video on youtube by default. Tails uses a greasemonkey script to achieve the same goal. There are many videos which are flash-only, mostly they seem to be the videos with ads injected into the video stream. I have seen some html5 videos with advertising overlays, but the video plays fine in TBB and Tails. Thanks for all replies. It doesn't change the (sort of) tongue in cheek comment about being a brilliant move on Google's part. ESPECIALLY in light of Google's new (non) privacy policy, where they can / will / intend to? track users across all their services. In of itself this isn't * solely * related to html5 content, but it's certainly a big draw to get users to set Google cookies. My question to those more knowledgeable about these cookies that google sets, their NEW privacy policy, is how it affects Tor users? Among other issues, once Google sets a cookie, I don't believe there'd be any difference in Tor / non Tor users, how Google is able to track you across their different sites / domains. The only diff is they'd not see your real IP address. Since traffic analysis seems to be a huge issue for Tor / Tor users, how is being able to track Tor users across multiple sites not an issue? Seems it'd be fairly easy to use this to identify individuals, if someone wanted to. Unless using settings / addons to prevent it, they will have a lot of info about you http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/ Users really need to read the ENTIRE Google privacy policy. If not taking steps to prevent (Google) from gaining details about your machine, etc., even if users delete a cookie once they leave youtube, etc., then go to another google site that requires cookies, couldn't they probably identify the same computer? Many Tor users will forget to del cookies, since TBB default settings are to accept cookies. The bigger issue is, today it's Google doing this, tomorrow... who knows? ___ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk

Many Tor users will forget to del cookies, since TBB default settings are to accept cookies. TBB deletes cookies when you quit it, so it's hard for users to forget to delete them. It's true that Google can use cookies to track a particular Tor user within a TBB session, including from one Google site to another. However, if you quit TBB and run it again another time, there shouldn't be any information that enables Google to recognize you from before. TBB took some measures to respond to the Panopticlick research, so it's probably not easy for Google or other sites to recognize your browser by non-cookie means either. -- Seth Schoen sch...@eff.org Senior Staff Technologist https://www.eff.org/ Electronic Frontier Foundation https://www.eff.org/join 454 Shotwell Street, San Francisco, CA 94110 +1 415 436 9333 x107 ___ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk

It's true that Google can use cookies to track a particular Tor user within a TBB session, including from one Google site to another. Thanks for the input. My point exactly. Most users aren't going to completely close TBB after visiting google sites. I imagine even a very large % of Tor users, much less avg internet users, have ever read Google's new privacy policy, have any idea of their capability to track users, etc. Your point is well taken, but I doubt a majority of TBB users will close the browser, after they leave a google site make sure that all google cookies are deleted (ALL google pages probably sites linked from google pages). One could use some cookie mgr addon that allows for temporary cookies, that are deleted when a web PAGE is closed, but most won't do that either. Of course, this may be the least of worries for users of TBB or any other anonymity software / methods. I assume at this point, TBB devs aren't concerned about google (or any other) tracking cookies, or else TBB wouldn't come w/ cookies enabled by default. I'm not sure why they wouldn't be concerned - maybe there's good reason. I don't know the answer to that. ___ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk

As I can see through the `top` there are no any gnash process in my system when it plays.
