in these dangerous times, it's important to reevaluate your online habits
for example: the surveillance systems baked into the WWW are a disaster. using Tor Browser can really help
how?
yes, Tor Browser has issues accessing many websites online. but what you can do to help this situation is to find the ones that do not block Tor and to use those ones in TB
one of the biggest sources of my WWW-surveillance risk comes from reading the news. news sites are notorious for surveillance
i don't want governments and blackbox algorithms knowing what i read, and from there, controlling content to me or from me in ways i'll never know
my biggest source of news is from the fediverse. so, what i do is i log into Mastodon etc in Tor Browser. this way the links that i click from fedi open in TB
this is safety by default. if a news site doesn't load in TB, i can easily copy the link into
https://archive.is/, also opened (and pinned) in TB
archive.is has a captcha but once you move past it, it's worth it. if archive.is doesn't have the article you need, you can have them get it for you. reading it here will make the page much more responsive and readable since they strip out javascript any other heavy stuff you don't need or what to read an article
i'm happy to help coach people about any of this. if you're new to Tor, don't hesitate to reach out
