The type of content available on the dark web isn’t appropriate for many users. Also, Tor is the gateway to the dark web and criminal activities. This is one thing users should worry about. However, the popularity of the onion router has motivated hackers to create malware and make it look like the Tor browser. But in everyday usage, you shouldn’t be much concerned unless you’re some drug dealer or a high profile person trying to dodge surveillance systems. Regarding anonymity, one can’t live with the belief that security agencies can’t penetrate the network and track someone. That’s because enabling Javascript and other plugins could contribute to leaking your IP address. But it’s advised that you shouldn’t mess with Tor’s default settings unless you know what you’re doing. The Tor network also has its weaknesses, mostly present at its endpoints where the traffic leaves the network.īeing optimistic, Tor is one of the best options we currently have.
The Tor browser minimizes the chances of spying and eavesdropping, but nothing is fool-proof nowadays. Would it be best to have a "current A/B tests" page? Individual posts for each? A global opt-out option? If you have any ideas on the most ethical and privacy-conscious ways to go about A/B testing, I'd love to hear them.Īlso, apparently there's already a drunken_economist on voat.It depends. I'd love to hear a bit of feedback on the testing process. That being said, if you want to prevent this behavior, you should block the recent_srs cookie.
I don't think cookies like that are exactly nefarious - they essentially say "in this session, the user saw these pages". We use the recent subreddit cookie to give ads to logged-out users who end up browsing deep into the site (since they don't actually have subscriptions, like logged-in users) When people buy self-serve headlines (those sponsored headline things at the top of your frontpage), they have to choose one or more subreddits to target. The recent_srs cookie has been around for a really long time. I didn't mean the edit to seem unhanded, it's just a matter of convenience to keep the A/B test log together.
Users blocking cookies or running script blockers are excluded from the test as a matter of rule. That post is mostly to help make sure we have something to point users at as an explanation when they post in /r/help or message in.
Jumping into the lions' den here, but I thought I'd drop in and offer a bit of clarification: The full comment if people don't feel like clicking or it does get deleted:
