Nor do they have any control over what data the Tor Browser is sending. At some point you have to trust that your software is doing what it's supposed to do. If privacy is an absolute priority for you, then yes, run Tor Browser. But be aware that in return for privacy you're giving up security. For most people that tradeoff will result in less privacy in the long run. If someone isn't in a position to make an informed choice, a blanket "Use Tor" recommendation may do much more harm than good. |

Who said anything about tabs?
>> More like: Leaking local information over Tor is equivalent to not using Tor
> This isn't even slightly true
There is no middle ground. There are two states here. Anonymous and not anonymous. Once one is not anonymous they are not anonymous. If one leaks one's local IP one is not anonymous. If one leaks one's voice data one is not anonymous.

I agree. The thing is that Tor Browser is supposed to be limiting data leakage whilst Chrome is supposed to be sending data to Google.
