Shit is getting weird. The Dissenter browser should have been something we discuss here on Voat, whether you support it or not it's logical that it would have been a topic of conversation. Instead it received less upvoats than a bunch of inane bullshit that was posted yesterday.

Any promotion of software, especially the type that can and will be used against you is a giant red flag.

We discuss this stuff here. It's your opinion that it would be used against you. Great. Now we can have a conversation about it, right? Like you can provide your reasoning and evidence for assuming it's malicious, and I can go over that and tell you what I think.
So why do you feel it is malicious? Or do you generally yourself get convinced by people randomly asserting things without providing any kind of evidence or even reasoning?

Researching brings an enlightenment that needs to be done for oneself or as you put it I wouldnt be critically thinking.
Search "Tor NSA asset"
This is easily the best example of software being a honeypot.
So even though Tor was revealed to be a asset for the NSA the ignorant public still would rattle off about how secure this browser, is, regurgitation of whatever bullshit they accepted as reasonable information. Despite the well documented problems, people believe it to be safe because of all the child porn they could download and nobody ever came to arrest them. But thats exactly how honeypot aoftware is supposed to work, they(Gov agencies) literally wont prosecute any cases that could further reveal their methods and enabling of such things because they want "Enemy" states and targets of value to fall into the honeypot. The general population isnt worth taking down.
Then for another point, technology and the internet has been my childhood and career for over 30 years.
In the past and so obviously moving forward software is released, sold to new owners and malicious code injected via updates, this applies to all levels of code from operating systems to browsers to virus/spyware protection.
Most every single software produced today suffers from this tolerance of automatic updating and background processing. Cellphone apps are the biggest moneynakers as all that juicy data is worth trillions and everybody wants this data, Google even exploits these opportunities as getting ahold of Apple user data is a nice slice of marketable information and Apples main goal has been seperation of its users from using Microsoft or Google from hardware to software, they still make iMacs because a promoter fanbase of idiots will still pay for inferior products when properly brainwashed.
So maybe you understand alittle better why even the choice of software browser you use is very important and should be scrutinized for not so apparent ressons.

I'm not spending the time necessary to unpack all the disinformation you just spewed. You don't understand how Tor works, first of all. Probably zero technical knowledge. Doesn't really matter who created Tor if you understand how it actually works. Which you don't. Yet you have the audacity to accuse others of precisely that.
How about we stay on topic instead of you writing a wall of fucking text about shit that isn't relevant. You want to discuss the topic at hand let's so it, I'm not getting distracted by all that other nonsense though.
