Tails 0/1
  • Pros

    • Truly leave no trace browsing on any computer | Circumvents censorship, if that's something you need | Includes cryptographic tools to protect files and messages | Productivity apps are pre-configured
  • Cons

    • Requires a separate bootable drive, kind of a pain | Tor can be slow, so prepare for a performance hit | Not for casual users; has a steep learning curve | Having to explicitly allow tracking feels backwards
