Hi!

I have an item on my personal todo list to ask on tor-talk if there
are ANY Tor-safe alternatives to Tor Browser that can be configured
with few/acceptable/none linking/fingerprinting issues. Even (and
also) a text only, html only, no javascript browser would be a real
enrichment.

For ease of use, I'd prefer a graphical, non-text one (none, that
works in console and doesn't easily support copy and paste).

A smaller attack surface would be worth it. The more paranoid ones
will love you for having a "higher security browser".

Cheers!
