Browser: How to enable private browsing mode as default mode?

Custello · 30 May 2018, 20:36

Hello together,

to improve privacy I want to enable private browsing mode as (standard) default mode.

Where can I adjust this configuration?

Thank you very much!

With best regards!

@custello Hehe To improve privacy, I'd like the option of using the Tor network. I did hear - I think in the last broadcast - that the devs are looking at the browser app, so maybe they will be able to incorporate such features in future.

Thanks @Lakota - Is that what they were talking about in the last broadcast?

Unfortunately I'm not using 16.04 yet.

@3arn0wl Nor me waiting for official OTA when its completed. As I'm not trying it I can only conclude its the testing thats important now, sort out the issues and ship as standard when ready after 16.04 gas been completed.

@3arn0wl "To improve privacy, I'd like the option of using the Tor network."

Running Tor on Ubuntu Touch devices would be a great feature for sure! On all of my desktop computers I'm using Tor as my standard browser since three or four years now. Nowadays and in times of unlimited tracking run by companies like Facebook, Google, Microsoft etc. there is not any reason anymore to not use Tor as a daily driver.
