    Since we're discussing Tor, one of the most fucked up things about Tor Browser Bundle (TBB) for Linux was made public in a recent update:

    Tor Browser 7.0.3 is released (major security bugfix release for Linux users only) - 2017-08-01 - via SoylentNews

    "This release features an important security update to Tor Browser for Linux users.

    On Linux systems with GVfs/GIO support Firefox allows to bypass proxy settings as it ships a whitelist of supported protocols. Once an affected user navigates to a specially crafted URL the operating system may directly connect to the remote host, bypassing Tor Browser. Tails and Whonix users, and users of our sandboxed Tor Browser are unaffected, though."

    == SCARY:

    "We believe that previous versions of Tor Browser are affected as well (definitely 6.5.2 which I tested).

    There is no particular version this bug got added as the offending code has been in Firefox for years. "

    Chromebooks (specifically the Asus c201) can be safer if the firmware has been replaced with Libreboot. The rest of the c201 hardware has open source drivers for Chrome OS. So, in theory, that would be the most up-to-date hardware capable of entirely running FOSS, including the firmware, without BLOBS.

So they're only collecting "telemetry" from users who are voluntarily submitting it; that may not be the best barometer of who's using 32-bit systems, but it's all they have to go by.

    Right, at the very least you need to install a perfectly clean VM taking all the default install options on the OS so you don't do anything that might be identifiable or make it more unique. Make sure you do not enable any of the host integration stuff, no copy paste, don't install the VMware tools, ensure all the host isolation stuff is on, don't even allow the power status or system clock to the VM. Only then do you install tor. After that take a snapshot. Be sure to revert to that snapshot each and ever time you use the VM before you do any tor browsing! Start over and make a fresh build every few months as you can't trust upgrade processes won't leave something finger-printable and using a browser even a few months old might separate you from the masses somewhat now that most of the world auto updates.

    Or you can skip all that bullshit and just boot a TAILS CD.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 0.5.2-3+deb8u1. This update disables PDF support in MAT entirely. We recommend that you upgrade your mat packages."

    There are plenty of security-focused Linux OSes, e.g. Tails, Qubes, Whonix, Ubuntu Privacy Remix, Kali Linux - just to mention a few. And then there is also the whole BSD family of free Unix OSes who are very security vetted, e.g. NetBSD, OpenBSD and FreeBSD.
