so? afraid than MS knows you are using 7-zip?
Your bank knows every things you buy/pay, huge privacy concern indeed. So do you hide your money under the mattress? i don't think so. :)

:LOL::LOL::LOL:! I agree.

How come this is still unverified?

What browser extensions do you use?

Also on setup, this is very secure, thanks for sharing.

Hey LDogg,

Not Sure, when i originally put it up it was 'Secure:Basic' but ive made a ton of changes since then.

Using Tor Browser, so it has:

NoScipt
HTTPS Everywhere
Tor Button
Tor Launcher

(I'll add this to the original config)

Hey man!!

Nice man, looks like that's all you need for the Tor Browser really. HTTPS Everywhere however I feel is a bit redundant in 2018. But still keep it. Just encase some sites still only use the default HTTP.
