Mullvad Browser (no TOR, no VPN)

You can compare Mullvad Browser with your Firefox Browser. Just do a Fingerprint Test:

coveryourtracks.eff.org

Is your Firefox better? Does it hide more details about you? No.

Your Firefox is likely very unique. So your settings and extensions appear to be special; let's say you stick out of the others. Also your Screen-Size and if its a touchable screen and how much RAM your device has and so on.... Mullvad Browser makes all users look much more like the same user - users are less identifiable.

✋ node operators enable a ban list

Monero GUI wallet

If your run your own local node through the GUI wallet, go to Settings. In the "Daemon startup flags" box, input "--ban-list ". Then click the orange "Stop daemon" button. It will take a few seconds for the daemon to shut down. Then click the orange "Start daemon" button. If you use a remote node, whoever operates the remote node will decide if the ban list is enabled.

fluffypony PSA: Core Team Resignation

01010101

In my eyes, you were a visionary with foresight and a gift for expressing yourself in the right way! For me, you were a beacon in the blockchain industry. As with a chancellor, the work doesn't stop when you no longer hold the post. On the contrary, it is more demanding, because you have to guide your successors and point out the paths you have taken. The reward comes when you only have to speak out on serious, big issues and can otherwise sit back and relax. All the best!

eXaMinR: free and open source monero tracing tool

Do not use this. If you try to find something there, you are only giving away that you have done something there by trying to find something.

Imagine who is looking for a specific transaction? Even in other block explorers! Who is searching for a transaction or the details of a transaction at this point in time? Of course, most likely only someone who actually has something to do with it.

Operate your own fullnode and, if possible, refrain completely from researching transactions on third-party websites.

Don't get confused by the name. Mullvad has a proven trackrecord to not keep any data of their users. Even the payment process is anonymously. They partner with privacy and security advocates like TorProject, MalwareBytes, Mozilla ... 100% legit
