No wonder firefox is seemingly more insecure lately. Only choices now are chrome or a text-only browser.

I realize Chrome is basically a version of spyware or adware. It does direct you to google by default. But, it's the same dilemma with Tor exit nodes. At least with your ISP, not just any one can offer you internet service. With a tor exit node, anyone with a few thousand bucks could be running it. Although what am I saying? I never paid a cent for Firefox. On Sun, Sep 6, 2015 at 11:08 PM, Georgi Guninski <guninski@guninski.com> wrote:

Also, Chromium. Why anybody uses Chrome is beyond me. -- Pozdrawiam, Michał "rysiek" Woźniak Zmieniam klucz GPG :: http://rys.io/pl/147 GPG Key Transition :: http://rys.io/en/147
