A difference is that Tails includes the uBlock Origin extension, which removes advertisements. If an attacker can determine that you are not downloading the advertisements that are included in a webpage, that could reveal that you are a Tails user.
Here’s the thing tho, u block might be good for your threat model. Depends what it is. any way if you are surfing clear web you got more serious opsec concerns.
I think i didn’t explain myself because this is happened before.
The point of the comments I wrote are not aimed to say “don’t use ad-blockers” or “don’t use Linux” and so on. What I’m trying to do is “fight” the misinformation spread by certain people about these topic.
Now, while people should act according their own threat model, they should also be aware about the possible pro and cons about every software they eventually are going to use.
I’m not an expert, but in my understanding privacy is not something you can easily achieve. Browser need to carefully develop actual features designed to protect users’s privacy, like Tor browser does.
Installing a bunch of add ons aimed to “blocks ads & trackers” or *spoof user agent" will make you stand out more from thecrowd.
Then if you’re comfortable with that it’s up to you.
Again, there is a big difference between be aware about something and then act accordingly and be in denial mode and accuse people to spread misinformation beside the reliable sources linked.
I personally use ublock on my desktop browser because I don’t like to see a page filled with ads & tracker and I don’t care about stand out from the crowd.
Please, let me now whether I made that clear or not.
