Anonymous Browser setup

Ghj456

Tor is very slow so I was thinking about using a technique called browser isolation. The setup I was thinking about is Vanadium with adblocker and protonVPN. I will be using google search engine and many different websites but no personal information will be used, so I should remain anonymous?

Just wanted some advice about this setup.

Also remember hearing about some settings should be further tweaked. Something about AMP and it should be on/off or something but vanadium does not have this option? Also safe browsing should be disabled or something? Any other settings I should tweak?

Thanks in advance

Anonymous in what sense?

To Google, you will show up as "some guy using Vanadium (a not-so-fingerprinting-resistant browser) and ProtonVPN, in X timezone and with Y language/keyboard". Whether that is acceptable or not is up to you. The Tor browser is more fingerprinting resistant, but is less secure than Vanadium.

Also, for threat modeling purposes, you should assume that VPN providers do log (not saying that Proton does this), since they certainly can see your originating IP (or which customer account ur using) and which site ur visiting. Tor provide much better anonymity in this regard since the traffic is routed through 3 different nodes, and unless they are colluding no entity can find out both who you are and what you are visiting.

Why use Google? Using Vanadium with ProtonVPN should work fine, DuckDuckGo is better for big G not creating a profile.
You'll still need to have good OPSEC using them anyway, you can use the most hardened OS and Browser out there, but logging into your personal FaceBook kinda defeats the purpose.

Floccose Not everyone has the same threat model. One can use Facebook on GrapheneOS and still enjoy its security benefits. The same thing goes with Google products.

The new web proxy feature within the Utopia P2P ecosystem is a free and reliable solution to access blocked websites and content. Unlike other VPN or proxy services that charge a fee, Utopia's web proxy is absolutely free.
