Heh, I wish it was +5:30
It’s UTC +5:45, and my country’s the only one using it. That’s ~30 million people. My main fear is not being pinpointed to my personal identity, but the fact that this serves as a perfect fingerprint metric, rare enough to stick out like a sore thumb.
(felt safe enough to reveal, as i do not expect this account to be tied back to me personally)
NoScript will improve your privacy by a lot, and will make webpages load faster, since it stops stylish and tracker-ridden JS. If a webpage breaks, you can flick a few buttons to temporarily allow JS (or permanently if you’ll be visiting that site a lot).
Tor over VPN is a fine solution if you want to hide it from your ISP, but I don’t think you should install extra stuff on TailsOS. Consider using Tor Browser + UblockOrigin on your own PC over a VPN, it’s pretty much the same thing if you’ll just be browsing online.
Oh-- and one important thing to remember: Don’t expend more effort than necessary for your own threat model. Consider the extent of your privacy needs and act accordingly, going overboard will only leave you tired for not much in return.
P.S.: mander.xyz has a Tor-based onion frontpage ;)
Huh- I haven’t experienced any connection problems (yet)
