![]() ![]() it's just a (bad)copy!!!!!! yes, there is something of new: NoScript and BetterPrivacy!!!!!!! The first addon is almost garbage, and the last one is useless if you really want to have any privacy online!!!!!!!!!!!!! I made Factorbee with in my mind an absolute protection for who's using it!!!!!!!!!! I made a script to run FactorBee from EncFS (encrypted filesystem) or from a TmpFS (temporary filesystem in RAM/swap), supporting RAM disks and multiple firefox profiles, etc. This TorBB of the torproject hasn't been well-made!!!! It actually sucks!!!!! Six months for this crap lol!!!!!!!!!! It's the same "Tor Browser Bundle for Windows" made for Linux, without anything of new, no improvements. ![]() ![]() Well i want to compare this Tor Browser Bundle for GNU/Linux (the official belonging to the TOR Project), with my one (Factorbee)!!!!!!!!!!!! I think this would actually be usable by most people, as it fits more in line with their mental model of the web (and would also protect them in cases where for example facebook's tracking scripts appear everywhere due to advertising partnerships). These filters would then apply based on the domain in the url bar, not the domain of the sourced content. I am really hopeful about an "Intermediate" mode, where users can say that for example they want to allow scripts from "" and "" and ban them everywhere else. A malicious Tor exit node can feed you malware from any domain, and websites can also serve you syndicated (read: malware spiked) ads, plugin content, and tracking scripts from their own domain origin.Īs I said, I've been discussing usability with Giorgio, and he claims that adding "Novice" and "Intermediate" modes to NoScript is on his TODO list. I rely on NoScript and Adblock to filter out the noise and the malware.įor our bundles, I prefer NoScript because I believe NoScript is addressing the root problem here: it gives you the ability to disable/augment individual components of the browser prone to exploitation. Personally, I use Request Policy as more of an advisory role, so that I can become more aware of what different pages tend to be sourcing. Yeah, in addition to usability, I also feel that Request Policy makes more sense when you have more trust in your network connection and/or perhaps just want to dodge some ads, tracking scripts, and web noise. I am also discussing usability issues with Giorgio to try to help make NoScript a bit easier to use in general. We're open to any suggestions or comments about this approach. It replaces most common media types and plugins with placeholders It sets Javascript to be enabled by default.Ĥ. It simplifies the context menu down to just enable/disable javascriptģ. It disables the redirect to on updates.Ģ. The Noscript config shipped with the bundle has the following additional general properties:ġ. Right now, we are attempting to secure * * We are open to any suggestions for additions to this list, and what we might do about any problems that arise. In addition, we've decided to try to deploy a list of popular sites that have insecure https functionality that can be secured by NoScript. Basically, we would like to replace this long FAQ entry with a much simpler one that still has an appropriate warning: Our plan is to make it so that people who insist on viewing flash content can simply uncheck "Disable plugins for Tor usage", and only be at risk when they actually decide to load a plugin (possibly GnashPlayer) by clicking on its NoScript Placeholder. ![]() We also want to provide at least some way for people to view YouTube videos and other flash content without completely sacrificing their privacy and anonymity while viewing all websites. After the remote font exploit of Firefox 3.6 and the apparent ~2 month delay between exploit code and fix, we've come to the conclusion that we need to do a bit more to protect our users against Firefox 0day being held by the underground and aboveground exploit markets. We've decided to attempt this as a trial in Linux TBB for a few reasons. I want to point out that this is the first bundle we are shipping with NoScript and BetterPrivacy. ![]()
