you are right. though as i said, what matter most is that the https site on the other end is 9/10 compromised by facebook, google or twitter scripts plus a slew of other ad companies. they are the ones tracking you everywhere.

It’s tor browser without the tor network.
i don’t get what you mean by this. a browser is not a tor browser without going through the tor network.
vpns completely expose you to the vpn provider, AND won’t help with anything related to privacy when using a regular browser that can be fingerprinted anyway.
fingerprinting is the main way in which you are tracked on the internet.

yes, the tor browser is the easiest way to use tor. you expose to your ISP that you are using tor, but what you do in there is encrypted.
if you live in a place that frowns upon merely using tor, the standard precaution is using the available tor bridges. it’s good practice to keep the tor browser stock.

you can access the regular clearnet through tor.
every tor browser is standardized therefore resistant to fingerprinting, plus you get a different IP every time.

on Leaked webinar reveals Flock employees teaching police how to surveil anti-Trump No Kings protestors and track their cars in c/privacy@lemmy.ml · 5 Sep 2026
police is notorious for racially profiling and this is what they already do, supercharged. arguing they don’t is naive at best.
i was actually thinking of latin immigrants (ie someone like myself), which they openly use flock to target.
but yeah this probably applies native born black people too.

who would be the first kind of person to be the “suspicious guy running around”, as opposed to a regular guy?
why would they need that distinction in the first place when it’s just a so-called “car show”?

racism is not about the language itself. it’s about as she herself said “who is running this car show, so we will keep an eye on it”. it’s panopticon-enabled racial profiling.
