The problem is mouse movement fingerprinting.
There are multiple other problems too, e.g. Cloudflare, time correlation.
FWIW, some time ago I made quBO which practically turns Tor Browser into a text browser as a default setting which one can control further. I will probably have to update it, although the last time I tested it worked fine in 4.3 too.
It is simply not true that All internet requires JS. If this is a
concern for you do not use the sites that do require it.
That means one should not use:
- doc.qubes-os.org search which says “Please activate JavaScript to enable the search functionality.”
- GitHub, for which we have a whole thread without solution too
- forum.qubes-os.org - registration, user account control, etc.
Nor is is true that all browsing requires mouse movements. Use a text
based browser, with or without JS, and leave the mouse alone.
I miss the computers from the 80s too but unfortunately AI bots attack even privacy websites which put JS-walls at an increasing rate too.
Proxy your browsing through a VNC connection. […] Qubes makes it very easy to do this.
Sounds interesting. Got a guide for this?
