      I generally do not connect to web sites from my own machine, aside from a few sites I have some special relationship with. I usually fetch web pages from other sites by sending mail to a program (see https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/womb/hacks.git) that fetches them, much like wget, and then mails them back to me. Then I look at them using a web browser, unless it is easy to see the text in the HTML page directly. I usually try lynx first, then a graphical browser if the page needs it.

      Fuck. What the hell.

      I occasionally also browse unrelated sites using IceCat via Tor. Except for rare cases, I do not identify myself to them. I think that plus Tor plus LibreJS is enough to prevent my browsing from being associated with me. IceCat blocks tracking tags and most fingerprinting methods.

      Ironically I think this makes his the most unique fingerprint in the whole internet.

      In fact, what I use is Maté (an English way of writing the Spanish word Mate).

      As a Spanish speaker I’d just like to say

      A: wtf is this even supposed to mean?
      B: mate and maté are two entirely different words.
      C: The mate desktop environment is named after hierba mate, no é.
