Is there official documentation on this? I searched the Tor wiki but didn't find anything specific. I may have missed it, Trac searching is painful. > Installing plugins and changing settings is strongly discouraged. (It may not matter, but I wrote "plugins" when I meant "extensions") I understand that plugins/extensions may leak identifying data, however I feel I should clarify that I'm not using Tor as a tool to protect my life. The extensions perform specific tasks - advertisement blocking, managing cookies, etc - and I haven't been informed that TBB/Firefox already does these tasks. If TBB/Firefox can handle these tasks then I have no problem not using the extensions. I don't agree that changing settings in TBB/Firefox should be discouraged; you may have meant this in regards to some specific settings, but you'd have to elaborate for me to be sure. For example, I routinely enable the "Tell websites I do not want to be tracked" option. Is this discouraged? Why? _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
