Excellent browser. One issue with it though, when I close the browser I am expecting my history to be deleted as I set it up that way, but it turns out I have to manually close every tab before closing the browser for it to actually delete the history and that seems like a mistake. Otherwise, great browser. Though you should rip out all the Google stuff from it, literally every single thing that connects or touches that pos company.
Sampson here, from Developer Relations at Brave. Would you mind telling me a bit more about how you have Brave configured, so that I can make sure local testing and troubleshooting on my end reflects your scenario accurately? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
You are presumably using the "Clear on Exit" feature, located within settings at brave://settings/clearBrowserData. When you select the "On Exit" tab of that view, which options do you have selected? Do you find that none of the data types are cleared when you close the browser (via › Exit), or only some of them are cleared?
I'm also curious about the state of two options within brave://settings/system, namely "Close window when closing last tab," and "Warn me before closing window with multiple tabs". Are both of these enabled?
TOR is PURELY designed for spies to use to hide among the network in countries throughout the world. It needs regular people to believe in it, to use it, but its only real purpose is for the spies. Regular users can and are deanonymised in real time and without using zero days. You just have to look at the network to see that you are almost exclusive connected to a series of entry/relay/exit nodes within 14 Eyes countries who share real-time data with each other. The servers are fast because most are using VPS. There was a time when it was more anonymous, when the relays would actually be random people's own computers across the globe, but it was too slow. The whole thing is gamed, and just because criminals are on there thinking they are anonymous is just because they are allowed to continue to keep the charade alive. I know I am going to be bursting bubbles here for 'true believers', but they have all been gamed for years. I'm surprised this info is Top Secret, it should be utter common sense to everyone by now.
Countries where the legal system provides a way to discuss, define, and defend human rights qualify, imho. No system is perfect, but those that follow laws pertaining to human rights are generally closer to the ideal. It's about this subtle difference:
USA: "We have no problem with someone saying that the president is an idiot"
Russia: "We have no problem with someone saying that the US president is an idiot"
EASY. Nordic social democracies, Iceland. I know someone will respond with some examples of them capitulating to big bad America somewhere, but they are absolutely bastions of Human rights and freedoms.
New Zeland is likely up there too, likely Luxembourg/Switzerland and other tax havens. The Baltics are pretty good.
Julian Assange case shows things change when it comes to big politics.
> On 5 February 2016, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights announced that the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention had found that the UK and Swedish governments were holding Assange in arbitrary detention by initially keeping him in isolation at Wandsworth prison and because the Swedish prosecutor was conducting its investigation with a "lack of diligence". The Working Group said Assange should be allowed to walk free and be given compensation.[113][114][115] The UK and Swedish governments denied the charge of detaining Assange arbitrarily.
Drugs are sold on every platform, including Instagram. The other parts are just as likely to end up on Facebook as they are Telegram too, there really is no point in trying to make this sound like the USA-based platforms aren't utterly rife with the things you mentioned too. The only difference here is that Telegram isn't USA-owned and doesn't need to bow down to the USA Govt.
> The only difference here is that Telegram isn't USA-owned and doesn't need to bow down to the USA Govt.
My understanding, unlike US companies, Telegram hasn't been co-operating with the EU? US companies are not perfect (see the hundreds of millions/billions of fines), but the US companies at least work with authorities.
