Why do we think a lawyer would be less likely to be duped? If they are relying on physical paper and pen signatures...aren't those all incredibly easy to fake?
> If they are relying on physical paper and pen signatures...aren't those all incredibly easy to fake? Lawyers are good at verifying identities. It's a core part of their work. More critically, in-person fraud scales differently from electronic fraud.

How can I get first party isolation in regular chrome or firefox? That is exactly what I've been imagining/wanting since Firefox announced their new container prototype.
Thankfully Mozilla works with the Tor Project so that Tor Browser patches to Firefox get uplifted to mainline Firefox, you can read more about those efforts here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Tor_Uplift And the Tor Uplift tracker: https://torpat.ch/uplift In this case the relevant preference is privacy.firstparty.isolate = true. Another worth pointing out pref is privacy.resistFingerprinting = true.
Thank you. I am excited for all the ways this is going to break the web for me, but this is exactly what I wanted. Maybe someday this will be on by default for everyone. Can you imagine?

#163So is it now "guaranteed", that TOR is secure? And how many "guarantees" does one need in order to be "guaranteed" security whilst browsing? [...]and they provide additional guarantees that readers are connected securely to our website.[...]
Its not secure. "Everyone" knows that. Everytime a drug market is taken down or a pedophile ring is busted, the investigators from FBI always claim it was some dubious mistake from the admin whic lead to it. But we all know they have discovered a vulnurability in the TOR protocol but won't disclose it. Safe browsing guys //edit: if you want extra security. Launch TOR from a remote desktop. And I am not talking about…
>But we all know they have discovered a vulnurability in the TOR protocol but won't disclose it.
Really? Perhaps you could explain how every single one of us found out it is true? Maybe every single one of us has a friend working in the NSA who was willing to tell us, even though he could go to jail for giving away such a secret?
Or maybe you are just making things up.

#164Err... does the tor site still have the 10 views a month for free limit? Are tor users supposed to subscribe to NYT - that will surely blow through any privacy you hope to achieve.
I don't know about other browsers, but with Cliqz if I turn it off after 10 articles and turn it on, the NYT starts counting from 0 again.

So in addition to knowing that your browser is connected to where you want, you now know that the website you want is actually who they say they are?
Of course you also need a browser and/or OS to establish the roots of the trust relations.
...and hope symantec/komodo/et al won't start selling those certs by the bucket.

#166Is there a search engine or other convenient discovery mechanism for Onion services? I know DuckDuckGo has their own hidden service, but it seems that site only returns results from the regular internet, not from other hidden services.
There was abiko, but it seems to be down right now:

If you're that easily phished, why are you using TOR at all? You aren't being attentive enough for high risk activities. You lack proper verification channels, to confirm authenticity, which matters in this context. You lack the situational awareness to proceed safely. Admit that you might not be cut out for what it takes to maintain a secure posture on the internet, if that's what gets you. Just stop pretending to t…
What we need is some way for the vast majority of the population who are not nearly as good at security as you are and never could be, to be able to access such sites securely.
The first step to that involves educating the media that the big scary dark web isn't just for drugs and other like minded Bitcoin slinging criminals.

#170I don't see the point.
A hidden service is set for information can not be safely presented on the public Internet. Like what The Daily Stormer did.
If one just wanted to bypass blocking or hide himself from evil third parties, he could just use tor browser to open NYT's regular domain instead of the hidden service domain, no?
