Thanks for all these years, If TBB current "default" policy and strategy - is for obfuscating the user for the portal to the point it is known that it is Tor user using - that is not productive after all: 1. Site administrators (like freenode and wikipedia did) block Tor users (that aren't using bridges, which are disabled by default by the design) 2. Massive fingerprinting is still here as trackers like ghostery.com blocks (BTW are there more reliable, FLOSS alternatives?) may track the full continuous activity even so the IP/cookies are changed/deleted.
Am I correct? If TBB "default" policy could be more than Anonymity Online, more like an Internet community (project stats estimate 500k of people) decided to oppose the surveillance, it would be more productive for all of us. In other words, the change from policy of acting like a "normal" users to the policy of a proud worldwide community could do the best for the most: 1. Users which need the anti-surveillance would easily right out of the box, use the kinds of Ghostery, RefControl, D-N-T, etc., it would be "new normal" 2. Users which are more concerned about fingerprinting comparison to "old normals" could disable these add-ons, add more profiles (for profilers, likely these "tracking Ads companies") of "Tor Users" but for some people which don't settle the trackers on sites, they would be more like "old normal". Is it plausible? Regarding the "tracking Ads" opposition I have written a few propositions on the https://blog.torproject.org/blog/ultrasurf-definitive-review comments, starting with "Thank you for the information, Ultrasurf as a brand is a scam, I think." @tor-talk-owner: "To post a message to all the list members, send email to tor-talk@lists.torproject.org."
