Among all internet users, Firefox 17 is probably rare, but among Tor users? My bet is that it owns a significantly higher chunk of the market.

edit: Maybe is a good idea to submit this link (or another related) to discuss about it in a new HN thread.
We should be clear that this isn't a vulnerability in the Tor software or network, but an (apparent) vulnerability in this unrelated "Freedom Hosting" company's site: https://blog.torproject.org/blog/hidden-services-current-eve...
And possibly in Firefox (!), with some sort of JavaScript exploit. This is the most worrying part for me--does anyone have any info on what the payload does?

However, the Commission (the executive branch, and especially the Trade Commisioner, Karel De Gucht) has been pushing hard for ACTA, going as far as lying, several times, to the Parliament. When the Parliament rejected ACTA, De Gucht said he would look for other means to bypass the decision.

Funny, I just realized that I never think of the UK when reading about Europe. In a surveillance context it certainly feels closer to the US. And then I watched this far to often a couple of years ago ... in a desperate wish to find some humanizing qualities ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdlT7v476qY
Neither do most UK dwellers.
Except when it suits them, off course.
People should stop using web/browsers for everything.
Some of Endgame's products used by the likes of the NSA: "There are even target packs for democratic countries in Europe and other U.S. allies. Maui (product names tend toward alluring warm-weather locales) is a package of 25 zero-day exploits that runs clients $2.5 million a year. The Cayman botnet-analytics package gets you access to a database of Internet addresses, organization names, and worm types for hundreds of millions of infected computers, and costs $1.5 million."
Exploiting an unknowable amount of users of a service as to hunt them. Using illegally harvested data from botnets, while others get hunted and prosecuted for coding them.
This tiered society where the legally immune can profit off acts that get others jailed. The market manipulation that comes with bribing companies for data access, the government giving less regulatory oversight to companies it has secret 'deals' with.
For the sake of society, economy, basic morality. It must end.
Here is real reason why little sisters force everything into browser. Because they care about security >:-) People should stop using web/browsers for everything.

It's not just that they're stealing everyone's privacy. They're acting like "it's foreigners, so we don't have to care" - even the latests attempts to rein in NSA make no effort to cut back its international misbehavior. Basically, I think most civilized people have been operating on the premise that democratic western states are behaving in a vaguely civilized way towards people in other such states. But it's clear…
The American government, you mean.
