It would be nice to offer an 'advanced' page alternative for them rather than torrenting or installing a browser add-on, both of which have privacy implications. If you torrent you expose your IP to other clients as downloading Tails and if you download via browser add-on then you leave a trace on the computer that you are using, if you are allowed to install add-ons. Though I guess you could then delete the add-on, not sure if that leaves a trace. _______________________________________________ tails-support mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-support To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to [email protected].
