I know there are plenty of software missing from here. This is just a fun infographic I made, no need to take it seriously :)

    But you do know that Tor/VPN is not really privacy, nor security? It hides your IP, but that’s about it. If you still login, and give any information, and that could just be your “fingerprint” you are not anonymous…

      Hopefully you don’t log in or give personal info to every website you use. Hiding your IP is still more private than not hiding it.

        Do you know what your fingerprint is? And all the ways you are being tracked that is not about your IP?

        You do give personal info to every website you visit - with the exception of a very few, who respect your privacy. If you think you need to log in, to give personal info, then you are sadly misinformed.

          Yep, I do know those things. There are other tools for that. Tor is still useful for doing what it does.

      Encryption is a type of security, and Tor/VPNs encrypt your traffic. Accessing .onion sites over Tor is (at least in theory) more secure than accessing clearnet sites.
