So, I found some Firefox forks. Those would be: floorp, zen browser, tor browser and librewolf. Could anyone help me decide which one to use?

mullvad for looking shit up on ecommerce sites with new ID each time

Is it sufficient? I'd always assumed it was easily targetable with the IP so I started using TOR for that purpose

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

tor has geo location issues.

but yeah ideally that tactic should be used vpn, you aint wrong for it to be best, IP is leaking aint good.

i am not sure how often isp will change ip and i am not sure how easy it is for them to link up fresh ID's on mullvad though either.

I see.

tor has geo location issues.

Could you explain what you mean with this? I'm not sure I understand

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Recommend websites will use your ip to serve your geos products. Tor randomly pops out in mostly EU countries

Oh I get it now, for me that's not a problem since I'm also in the EU, but I can see why it's an issue, I do have a VPN too, but barely use it
