A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

My solution is more complicated but doesn't require switching browsers
Beware that most of the fingerprinting happens through JavaScript in the browser, so accessing websites over Tor using the same browser, still allows to match the access to your browser's fingerprint. That's why the Tor Browser bundle tries to minimize the ability of websites to fingerprint it.
Additionally, running JavaScript from .onion sites, is kind of like playing the Russian roulette.
You should! That'd be killer. Also, good archive suggestion, thanks.
Dunno about other browsers, but if you can get Firefox to view .onion links as a separate Application or File Type you should be able to give it a separate associated action, then just select Tor browser as the handler.
Problem is I'm not sure where Firefox stores the File Types list (it's not in about:config) and you can't just add to it via the UI either.
