#TailsOS joins forces with #TorProject in merger
The #Tor Project, the nonprofit that maintains software for the Tor #anonymity network, is joining forces with #Tails , the maker of a portable operating system that uses Tor.

@servo hi good luck on this. are u supporting svg? tor browser don't support svg due to security "issues" but i did a search they were all patched years ago. dunno if its worth putting out a fork of tor browser with svg suport....could be a popular side thing and help bring exposure to ur team?
there are other interestnig browser inconsistencies but i dont want to dump them all on you....eg torproject folk say don't add addons because they'll add a fingerprint but their sister project #tailsOS adds #ublockorigin as youll see here (tbh uBO policies need to be baked into all browsers today).
theres more i could share but again i dont want to just dump it all out if ur not interested.... but yeah the svg one is a major long running ux issue.
2/2 BTW is anyone from the #tails os or @ublockorigin team on fedi? i'd like to talk to the @torproject about having ublockorigin included the way that #tailsOS includes it. i 'd also like checks that allow people to make an informed choice as to whether they visit sites that are proxied by cloudflsre , cloudfront (amazon), and akamai. I think an exclamation point needs to accompany the padlock when people are acessing a #bigproxy / #mitm webiste.
i feel like today with their aggressive #machinelearning and network analysis, this initiative is more important than ever... BigProxy runs counter to #privacy and anonymity, and undermines the integrity of the internet, as its understood today.
they make us LESS secure online. @ilumium
hm. Tails OS' Tor instance has uBlock Origin installed by default!
