there are also significant numbers of browser hardening and
configuration tuning for privacy, beyond just plugins and the Tor
hard-wire-on.

this is the fun part!

(seeing how diff. plugins, browser capabilities affect the ability to
"de-anonymize" you, or affect your privacy)

"Using a Tor circuit and exit" is sometimes synonymous with "Perfectly

it is indeed changed; the subtle differences the height of fun and
enjoyable learning.
