Tor Browser is no longer flagged as "Malware" by Windows Defender

Well said. I use Linux on my main desktop PC and Windows on the laptop. I'm the "use the tool that works for you when you need it" type of guy. Windows may not be as private or as secure as Linux, but it sure does have its use cases. And like you said, a lot of people may not have the luxury of changing their os. Linux is not always ideal. For instance, the laptop I have windows on never worked well with Linux. It has always had problems because it has that hybrid Intel/Nvidia graphics. And that shit is an absolute nightmare on Linux. It works flawlessly on windows.

This one's not really new. It's essentially the basis of the entire FSF manifesto and the purpose behind the GPL in the first place. If you don't have the source code to your tech, you have no real idea what's happening to your information while you use it.

Adding a TOR layer on top of a black box OS might provide some privacy for your network traffic, but the system calls being called by the browser are inherently untrustworthy to begin with.

Or, to sum up "Proprietary untrustworthy, open source more trustworthy," which still isn't as pithy as your quip.

Do u think correcting spelling like this helps cos u clearly understant what was meant.

Not sure how sending everything u type in the start menu to Microsoft is secure but sure mate.

You're going to need to specify what Windows and what distro at least. But I would argue that most people's idea of computer security would include privacy. Not that they get it, but if you asked someone if they feel Facebook posts are secure because others can't edit them, I think you would get some head scratches and people saying they are available to the world.
