Incognito, is it good for protecting my privacy? No. Is it good at keeping whatever random porn I was looking up earlier from auto completeing after the first letter in the middle of my stream as I am trying to Google something unrelated? Yes. Yes it do be

You should double bag it by also using a second browser.

I see you like to live dangerously. Have a completely separate account on your computer for porn.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Put your porn on a separate hard drive, then just hotswap them whenever you want to see tiddies

Or just install Tails to a USB and boot to it.

Keep going, I'm almost there.

The implications of using Tails and Tor to view pron…

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Sorry, I'm not familiar with Tails, what's the implication?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Tails is a privacy Linux version that runs from memory, and when you shut the computer down, everything you’ve done is gone. It comes stock with Tor, which you can use to access onion sites (the dark web.)

There’s only one kind of porn people have to go to the dark web for :c

Oh, gotcha, thanks for the explanation. I guess somewhere back we crossed the line from paranoid secrecy to criminal secrecy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, TOR immediately became the place to find horrible abuse videos, in the like early 00s.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Makes sense. I usually think of tor as a tool to get around government censorship, especially in countries where internet usage is strictly regulated, but of course that's a double-edged sword.

Honestly, why? How would that help over just using incognito?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Because sometimes ~~we~~ other people forget to open in a private tab

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

But Incognito mode is protecting your privacy big time! Just towards the people living in your house or otherwise using your device, not your ISP etc.

I thought this was pretty clear from the beginning. As far as I can remember, the mode point blank told you what it's for.
