Hi,

J.carrapa:
> I've understood that no one should install any add-ons to Tor (and only use the ones that are already installed), because someone could be able to fingerprint the user if he/she did it. The fact that Tor on Tails already comes with uBlock Origin (while Tor for other OSs don't) makes me wonder: can't someone use fingerprinting techniques to distinguish users from Tor on Tails and Tor on other OSs? And shouldn't we worry about that?
> My impression is that if Tor requires users to have the same add-ons to prevent fingerprinting, then there should be a single standard (same add-ons) for both Tails Tor and other OSs Tor, or am I missing something?

Maybe these can help to understand:
