On Wed, 01 Jan 2020 01:30:41 GMT, Melzzzzz wrote:
Well, any browser can be redirected through TOR. Even Brave as it uses system proxy. Let it be any that can forward to socks proxy. Done. Hi Melzzzzz, I understand your point of view, and don't disagree. We've all tried setting up Privoxy with Tor, and I've even written tutorials on it so long ago that I've forgotten how much work it was to set up and get work, once they built the general purpose tor browser bundle. o Polipo o Socks5 o Privoxy o Tor etc. In a way, it's kind of like "procmail" was, before Google and their wonderful spam filtering - in that it's just not worth the effort anymore (IMHO). Once they created the TBB and Brave, there was less need to 'build your own' since it's so _easy_ to just use the Firefox-based Tor Browser Bundle. o *How does the Brave Browser "-tor" option work differently than the Tor Browser Bundle?* https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt.os.linux/h3jqSBKawGU/gJxWmZSiAwAJ Yet, you're 100% correct that you can "add Tor" to anything; and, even on iOS it "can" be done, where iOS is generally the last platform to have privacy-based solutions. Yet, even in the case of iOS, Mike Tegas kind of sort of got tor to work: o https://mike.tig.as o https://www.patreon.com/OnionBrowser o https://apps.apple.com/us/app/onion-browser/id519296448 But, nothing replaces the "official Tor Browser Bundle" for eyes on code: (IMHO) Windows: https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/9.0.2/torbrowser-install-win64-9.0.2_en-US.exe Linux: https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/9.0.2/tor-browser-linux64-9.0.2_en-US.tar.xz Mac: https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/9.0.2/TorBrowser-9.0.2-osx64_en-US.dmg Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.torproject.torbrowser iOS: Does not exist (Mike Tegas, a journalist, did the best he could though.) One advantage though, of "Brave", is that you can make _one_ tab a "Tor Tab", which allows you to use the same browser for Tor and for non-Tor activities, where Brave is the _only_ browser that I know of that allows you to turn Tor on and off on a "per tab" basis (AFAIK). Same thing with proxies, where, Lord knows, we went crazy once trying to find all the web-based per-tab proxies out there on the Internet. o *What free unlimited bandwidth proxy-based browsers exist for Ubuntu Linux?* https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt.os.linux/I78Sg-TQIUo/-mO1ddQVBAAJ Nowadays, IMHO, even on iOS, there's just no need for "building your own", given that the following "tor-or-proxy-based" browsers readily exist: o Tor Browser Bundle (all-tab tor) o Brave Tor-Tab Browser (selective-tab tor) o Opera VPN Browser (they call it a "vpn" but it's really an all-tab proxy) o Epic Privacy Browser (it's really not VPN but more of an all-tab proxy) o Aloha Privacy Browser (this seems to actually be a VPN for all ports!) NOTE: IMHO, the Epic & Opera "VPN" is really a proxy for port 80/8080; but the Aloha VPN appears to be really a VPN (i.e., it handles all ports, I think). *Aloha* VPN-based privacy Browser https://alohabrowser.com o Windows (I don't think a native Aloha version exists) o Linux (I don't think a native Aloha version exists) o Mac (I don't think a native Aloha version exists) o Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alohamobile.browser https://i.postimg.cc/8cdTSVMn/browser01.jpg o iOS https://apps.apple.com/US/app/id1105317682?mt=8 What's interesting is that on the iOS mobile device, the Aloha "browser" appears to be an all-port VPN (AFAICT) but that type of browser-induced all-port-VPN functionality doesn't seem to exist on the desktop. (Of course, there are _plenty_ of all-port VPN solutions for the desktop - but it's interesting that the "browser" sets up the all-port VPN with Aloha on iOS (but not Android) - is it not?) I don't know _how_ the iOS Aloha "browser" sets up an "all-port" VPN, but it seems to do exactly that on the mobile operating systems (at least on iOS it seems to do that) but not on the desktop operating systems. Example on Android of a "normal" type of "all-port" VPN: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.calyxinstitute.vpn/ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nextvpn https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alohamobile.vpn https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.potatovpn.free.proxy.wifi etc. But on iOS, a strange thing "seems" to happen, in that the "browser" sets up an all-port VPN (somehow), which I can check with Safari, for example, using the http://whatismyipaddress.com web site to test the IP address. Example on iOS of a "normal" type of all-port VPN: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/aloha-vpn-turbo-master-proxy/id1455494920 https://apps.apple.com/il/app/potatovpn-fast-wifi-proxy/id1473774730 https://apps.apple.com/at/app/turbo-vpn-private-browser/id1365309175 etc. While those are "normal" all-port VPNs, apparently when I run this "browser", and then I turn on the VPN, it too becomes an "all-port" VPN (which I can check by using any other browser to check the IP address). https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/aloha-browser-with-private-vpn/id1105317682 How on earth does the "browser" on iOS set up an "all port" VPN anyway? |

Filled with mismatches. Just skim this long sordid thread, for an example of the philosophical versus pragmatic problem set determination - just to get an idea of the mismatch between philosophy and pragmatism. o How to get up & running on a free public vpn service in minutes on Android or iOS https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.mobile.android/Bv8bwG4ggnc/MgPhvvgHEgAJ As I recall, that thread spilled over into alt.os.linux, where the key question about proxies is how to _easily_ make them work for all ports (e.g., for Usenet). BTW, when you say "proxies", you likely mean one of two different things, where I am not sure at any given moment which is it that you mean. 1. Browser proxies (e.g., proxy web services) 2. All-port proxies (e.g., privoxy) They both are just fine, philosophically - which is where I agree with you 100% (and with Mike Easter who brought this up loooooong ago). I could dig up the thread, but the main point here isn't philosophy - 'cuz philosophically you're 100% right (and I agree with you). It's the pragmatics that make VPN oh so much better than proxies. 1. Browser proxies only work for one tab (which sucks, pragmatically). (Sure, Opera/Epic browser proxies work for all tabs.) 2. System wide proxies are a PITA for most people to set up (Compared to system-wide VPNs, anyway). It's a looooooooooong story though. So that's just a quick summary of why proxies are philosophically great - but pragmatically - they suck (IMHO) compared to system wide VPNs. On the other hand, system wide VPN sucks, philosophically, if all we want is to change the IP address and a bit of encryption; but pragmatically, system-wide VPNs are so easy as to be so simple that anyone can use them. Anyway, what's weird is Aloha on iOS: a. Running the Aloha browser on Android does not seem to be set a system wide VPN (all ports)... and yet... b. Running the Aloha browser on iOS _does_ seem to set the entire system (i.e., all ports) to VPN. That's weird. IMHO. I don't know how they do that. |

System wide proxies are a PITA for most people to set up (Compared to system-wide VPNs, anyway). It's a looooooooooong story though. So that's just a quick summary of why proxies are philosophically great - but pragmatically - they suck (IMHO) compared to system wide VPNs. On the other hand, system wide VPN sucks, philosophically, if all we want is to change the IP address and a bit of encryption; but pragmatically, system-wide VPNs are so easy as to be so simple that anyone can use them. VPN is useless for encryption, except on private network. If you browse web good ald https it is. Anyway, what's weird is Aloha on iOS: a. Running the Aloha browser on Android does not seem to be set a system wide VPN (all ports)... and yet... b. Running the Aloha browser on iOS _does_ seem to set the entire system (i.e., all ports) to VPN. Ah, Android , iOS I got it. Anyway that's policy. You can set vpn on Android disregarding browser. Of course if you have one handy... That's weird. IMHO. I don't know how they do that. -- press any key to continue or any other to quit...

Do we have (yet) an actionable list of all free Windows & Linux web browsers (and their main purpose)?

Ah, Android , iOS I got it. Anyway that's policy. You can set vpn on Android disregarding browser. Of course if you have one handy... Apparently, it is policy, as you state, where, for Android... a. You can set up system wide VPN and that works for all ports, but... b. The Android Aloha "vpn" browser only does VPN inside the browser (where it's really a proxy, IMHO, even as it's advertised as a VPN) However.... for iOS... a. You can also set up a system wide VPN that works for all ports, yet... b. The iOS Aloha "vpn" browser turns on VPN for all ports (AFAICT). That's just weird. As for terminology, a lot of the mismatch is in the various uses of the words, where, for example, when I use the word "VPN" I generally use it to mean "all ports" and a "public VPN service", whereas many people might use VPN to mean a "proxy for port 80/8080" (which is how Epic & Opera use it, for example), and lots of the Linux folks still consider the only real VPN to be one that you set up yourself to connect securely between your own networks. The terminology for proxy also means different things to different people or to the same people depending on what we're discussing. For example, I consider the Epic & Opera "VPN" and the Android Aloha VPN to be a proxy, even as it's clearly advertised as a VPN, whereas I consider the iOS Aloha VPN to be a VPN and not a proxy simply because it covers all ports. Most talk of proxies is the single-tab stuff that you point a web browser to, but we could talk of proxies using privoxy for example, where more ports can be covered. And then there's encryption (e.g., port 563 for nntp). Sigh. So confusing. Depends on what we're discussing, so I can't disagree with what you state because it depends on the perspective you have. Suffice for _this_ browser thread, that VPN really means "proxy" except in the weird case of the iOS Aloha browser, where it really means VPN (which is why I brought it up as being different). |

There are 22 browsers suggested, where about a dozen (roughly) work on whatever platform you may happen to be on, which means you can easily implement the multiple-browser philosophical strategy of setting up each browser for a single specific task. With respect to options, I especially loved that Iridium has a nice option to put your user data where it belongs, i.e., --user-data-dir=/IridiumUserData I'm not sure _where_ to put tricore, given its flexibility. As for tri-core having multiple rendering engines, I wonder why that's useful?
