missing-root Mozilla rewrote many core components of Firefox in memory safe Rust.
TorProject does the same with Tor Browser and c-tor.
C-tor development could still take years. In addition to security, the main feature is: Rust is multicore aware.
Then we relay operators no longer have to run dozens or hundreds of Tor-instances on a modern multicore CPU-server.
DeletedUser28 Orbot equivalent for desktop (Linux) is apt install tor.
No GUI just edit /etc/tor/torrc
HowTO man torrc
Damn edit fails
Tor runs by default in client mode & opens a socks proxy on port 9050.
Configure $software to use tor: socks4 or socks5 proxy localhost:9050 or 127.0.0.1:9050
TorBrowser has tor built in and binds default to 127.0.0.1:9150
Carlos-Anso thanks, didnt know about JIT in Firefox and try to find the setting to completely disable it.
Didnt know you could re-enable Javascript per site, but its still worse than Noscript which is per origin and also more granular.
And I have to say Chromiums settings suck. I tried following that tutorial to add Startpage, didnt work.
boldsuck there is the flatpak "Carburetor" which takes care of the proxy and also isolates it with Bubblewrap.
Most Distros use networkmanager, so you need to set the proxy there.
So it is totally possible, split tunneling probably not (mullvad bypasses that by spawning excluded apps with mullvad-exclude). It simply needs a GUI in addition to Carburetor
boldsuck arti is already working, isnt it? At least for the local proxy.
[deleted] no idea what I meant with "stay inside".
I like tor but it puts a lot of focus on you. I prefer to use it behind a VPN. Alternatively randomized Mac address and public wifi.
For sure no cell data, home wifi maybe.
Fair enough. Why not go full spook and run a yagi and snipe wifi a mile away? xD

Yes, but there are no binaries, you have to compile it.
I haven't tested it yet. I use Tor more on the server side for my relays and Monero nodes.
"missing-root"#p61472 Most Distros use networkmanager, so you need to set the proxy there.
Then the whole system uses the Tor network. Then I would directly use Tails, Whonix or Qubes. Or install it on the router network-wide.
I use different routes e.g:
$Browser via privoxy -> my ISP proxy -> www
$Browser, Console -> VPN -> Datacenter
I only use Tor for some hidden services (irc, bisq.network, haveno.exchange, Monero nodes) or to test my services/servers.
