My best guess is something related to a difference temperature causing us to perceive taste a bit different. If you’re drinking tea outdoors, it’s probably colder outside than if you’re drinking it indoors.

I don’t know about yts, but last time I checked 1337x is totally safe as long as you download from trustworthy sources.

Yes, I’ll look into how hardened that unsafe browser is, because that would be an ideal solution for me. Thank you very much.

Is that browser hardened to the extent the tor browser is? I looked this up and have seen conflicting reports. If it is, that would probably be a viable solution.

I appreciate your attempt to help, but I do also realize that what I’m asking for is rather niche and may not exist.

It’s frequently blocked by CloudFlare and other “web security” services. I find that I don’t need the anonymity that it provides as much as I need working websites.

I would like an already hardened environment from boot. That includes the kernel hardening and browser hardening that Tor has.

I get what you’re saying, a live USB does 80% of that with a bit more work, but I would still like to find a solution to this out there.

If there isn’t one, I’m ready to accept that and come up with my own solution.

Do you need it to be amnesiac? The very thing that defines Tails*.

Yes. A persistent storage feature would be nice but isn’t a requirement.

What’s wrong with Tor? Is your threat model so paranoid that you (somehow) don’t even trust Tor? Or, are you not in favor of its (relatively) low bandwidth? Or, is privacy and/or security not even a thing you seek after to begin with? Or, at least not beyond what your average distro provides already*.

The reason I don’t want to use Tor is because I will only connect to plain web websites where I don’t care if they know my IP. I also find that CloudFlare and other services can block Tor which sometimes causes issues with my work.

What do you intend to do with it? Daily drive it? If so, do you need persistence?

I mainly plan on isolating certain browser-based work I’m doing with other work on my computer. As I said before, persistence would be nice but is not necessary.

What does “Tails without Tor reliance” provide/offer you beyond a LiveUSB from any other distro? Or, rather, what do you hope it will provide/offer you?

I hope it would offer me a highly hardened environment to do work in, without the requirement to set it up every time on other liveusb OSes.

To put this all together, I want an amnesiac live USB hardened(browser, kernel) environment that does not use Tor.

That needs tor, like I said in the post I don’t want tor reliance.

Closest I found there is Secure-K which I might check out.

I haven’t but maybe make a post if the other guys comment to enable webgl didnt work.

sounds like EA

I use firefox and am actively looking to change to something, potentially librewolf.

Edit: just installed librewolf. it’s super clean and I’m glad I got it. replaced firefox almost instantly.

Fennec is like a half fork, it contains mozilla services and is essentially just a fully FOSS build(blobs removed). That’s why I was curious.

Glad mull got forked I’ll probably start using that.

The commenter suggested the file would be downloaded to onedrive. This implies that it doesn’t touch the computer.

Mainly just edgy teens, the more you read the hateful comments the more IG shows it to you. If you see a post with the comments, click Not Interested under it, it can help curate your feed.

This list seems to leave out a good amount of distros but overall not too bad.

Its very rare that I have a wet dream so locking up my meat wouldn’t really prove much. Based on other comments, sleep jizz is autonomous.

That sounds like hell, imagine running an exe from the cloud
