Same came here to post this. One of the first things I install.


Why would anyone be a daily Tor user and trying to hit clear-net sites on top of that? This sounds like a bizarre usecase.


Privacy through uniformity, operational security by routine, herd immunity for privacy, traffic normalization, "anonymity set expansion", "nothing to hide" paradox, etc.

I.e., if you use Tor for "normie sites", then the fact that someone can be seen using Tor is no longer a reliable proxy for detecting them trying to see/do something confidential and it becomes harder to identify & target journalists, etc. just because they're using Tor.


Huh never thought about that. I wonder how many people do that? Seems like a public service.


It certainly feels like one at times!


Tor Browser has ~1M daily users. Tons of people use it for hitting sites that may be blocked in their country or they want to have some privacy like view pregnancy or health related articles and etc.


In addition to the reasons in sibling comment, this also acts as a filter for low-quality ad-based sites; same reason I close just about any website that gives me a popup about a ToS agreement.


Exact same problem I have with being fully remote. It’s turned into near total isolation from everyone except immediate family.


I found there's a transition period where you eventually learn how to reach out via the internet to your remote peers and have good conversations.


Just a guess, but I'm thinking this isn't going to get much traction because: 1) it just reads like an AI-written ad and 2) people have "vibe coding" fatigue.


I guess for a lot of the Show HN posts, people could accuse of being Ads.

This was an honest account of my experience coding this. If you do a bit of research on our company, you might come to a different judgement. But obviously everybody is free to have their own opinions.


I won't go near anything Elon touches because of this. He's a clown.


Stop posting the same thing over and over again.


It's not the exact same at all.


As an American, I envy you and your country. What millions of us wouldn’t give for the wheels of justice to catch up over here.


Now do Trump.


It worries me that the president is a malignant narcissist conman who lies pathologically and has replaced morality with loyalty in the US government.
