A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

Easiest answer would be: Use a common OS, with a common browser, and no add-ons.
The moment you start using something different to Windows, Android, iOS or macOS with Safari, Chrome or Firefox, you're probably already in the 5 % (just my uninformed estimate). Add-ons also increase this value drastically.
Long story short: The sad truth is, the moment you're interested in online-prviacy, you're very unique.
I found tor did a very good job of blending you into other tor traffic. But you are only as unique as 1 out of the total number of tor users.
