For normal browsing it is almost unusable thanks to Cloudflare's reCAPTCHA (autonomous vehicle training) use.
How is that?
Just about every site out there is on cloudflare these days and cloudflare has decided to consider every connection from a total exit point as suspicious activity. Hence you get a captcha for almost every site you visit. Eternally stuck in captcha hell...
Yes but if the BBC initiative starts spreading this might change in the future. No?
Major sites have been maintaining tor hidden endpoitns for some time now. For example:
It doesn't have any significant effect in my experience. Maybe it's my browsing habits that I frequently visit a large number of sites that are new (think sites linked from HN).
Most of the services I use are not behind Buttflare. Various blogs linked from here often are, unfortunately (and people don't even change the default captcha settings when they have static blogs that don't ever need to prevent bots from visiting!) but privacy pass sometimes works.
Agree! Also TAILS has been great during my lunch break on old corporate computers. Makes them usable again, while avoiding surveillance
Be careful though - TAILS doesn't suddenly make untrusted hardware safe. You can still be surveilled by things like keyloggers.
