Thanks! I just needed some user experience from a forum member. I need a lot of homework to do in this field as well as in many others when it comes to things Linux and computing in general.

I like that you’re man enough and say you don’t know everything. I know most things though

btw, maybe by chance someone know some easy / free way to hide the fact of using TOR / Whonix (so you can go on sites that block TOR)?
I know you can do this with some paid bulletproof proxy and such…But maybe there’s some easier way?

Wouldn’t using the Bridge option in TOR do this?

Thank you for the detailed reply! 
I remember now the kick off about them inserting affiliate links whenever users visited Binance’s website, which was shady AF.
Personally I’m back using Firefox again anyway, but will keep Brave around when using Win10 for stuff like installing Roms via USB Web Installer (such as Graphene OS) on my Pixel 5.
But I am loving the new Firefox Proton improvements in Nightly.

I think TOR bridge is meant to hide fact of using TOR from your ISP, that’s another matter
If it hides it from the ISP, then surely it’s hidden from the website as well?
In theory yes (although my test doesn’t seem to support that) but i don’t want to hide it from ISP (Whonix in my case), i’d like to specifically do just browser level open some site which blocks TOR
Seems you can go away with those proxies though, elite ones

Some biscuits anyone?
For Android
For those brave souls who are thinking that TOR alone is enough to be bulletproof

Does anyone know how to check for integrity/signature of Firefox downloaded directly from their site? Or that is not necessary?

I have read many posts around the forum expressing legitimate concerns about the sketchy practices of Brave in the past (and present?) but its star seems to be on the rise:
While 35 million monthly active users might not sounds like that big of a figure, the increase in terms of percentage in 2 years is quite remarkable.
Welcome to the power of internet marketing. 
Where actual privacy history doesn’t matter.

Wish Mozilla could also flex some marketing mussels when it comes to Firefox. It looks a bit gloomy for the browser if I have understood the usage stat correctly. Slowly but steadily pointing downwards… 
That’s why i use Firefox.

I tend to agree; over time, though I use many different Web browsers, in order to keep track of what’s available and to investigate features, etc., I’m like ricklinux, I still use Firefox as my regular Web browser.

Do you know of anything in about:configs in Firefox that can be modified to change the useragent? I have found general.useragent.override on the web but it doesn’t seem to work.
