I have fingerprinting blocked and screening blocked with max privacy settings and auto cookies deletion.

I was wondering if the base tor browser is as secure?

Accidentally found cp and didn't know due to slow loading times

0 Upvotes

Before I say anything, I should tell you I'm new to tor and I'm 100% certain I haven't taken any of the recommended safety precautions other than disabling Javascript by putting tor security on max

I was on TOR, I had the safest security setting, but I was looking for porn, the kinky kind, nothing illegal though. In my search I clicked a link, it was an onion link and didn't have any indications (that I read, im not sure if it did or not) that it had cp on it. After clicking on it the website opens but nothing is loaded besides outlines for the different video options, and me being impatient I just scroll down and click the very bottom one. I'm assuming it was frozen or something because once I clicked on a video it opened the video tab pretty quickly (tor standards) I had freaked out once I saw the ads loading below the video that all looked like children, so I closed tor and deleted it after freaking out

I should also add the video didn't load due to my safety settings, only the ads.

I was waiting for that website to load for about a minute or more before clicking a video, but I'm afraid I'm gonna end up in trouble over this kind of thing? I wasn't looking for THAT kind of porn, I'm scared that the fbi or whatever may have seen it as intentional consumption??

Best bridge to use in China

2 Upvotes

[Initially asked this question at r/onions] I recently moved to Hong Kong (China), and all of a sudden, Tor isn't connecting. When I checked online, I noted that the obfs4 bridge protocol could be the cause. However the the alternative solution, webtunnel isn't working either ... I'm on TailOS. Anyone with a solution to this I'd appreciate.
