They’ve been chipping away at Tor browser for a while now. It’s well known that it can be fingerprinted now. I think it was like last year or something where they made a change they lied about and got caught. Eventually enough people had it that someone finally tested the damn thing and demonstrated the flaw. The tor browser people said too bad we’re not changing it. It was something that was intentionally introduced to enable fingerprinting on tor. The network itself seems very good but tor browser itself, not so much
I’m not saying to stop using tor, but you really should diversify your shit. Look into i2p, set up a reticulum node, get multiple options ready. The great danger of tor is that damn near everybody involved in darknet stuff is using it, which means it’s an incredibly appealing target for the feds who have demonstrated they are not to be trusted
There’s been some drama over of GitHub about it that are dismissive about, and there’s some network security guy on YouTube that covered a few episodes worth of the ToR security drama. I’m at work and don’t have time to look it up right now. If you can’t find it, hit me up again later. It’s somewhere in my history.
I just assume any and all communications are being monitored by the NSA, or somebody even more secretive. VPNs, browsers, etc. may fool the standard id confirmations and such, but they aren’t evading the top spooks.
If they want you, they’ll get you, no matter what precautions you take.

How certain are you Tor Browser can be fingerprinted and do you have any sources or information about that?

Agreed but if they are going to run around playing nazi games, I’m gonna make them work for it.
Of course, we are already at the point where they lie and just make shit up anyway so it’s mostly an intellectual exercise at this point.
