Make Use Of ☛ I found a Linux tool for private browsing that isn’t a VPN or Tor
Privacy is so important that some people go to great lengths to delete themselves from the internet. Others rely on certain tools to stay anonymous online. Some of these tools—VPNs, browsers, incognito mode—talk about hiding you, but can still leave traces behind the scenes. I've spent years going through a lot of them, and more often than I’d like, I end up with a familiar feeling: I was just redirected, not anonymous.
So when I stumbled upon Carburetor, I didn’t have high hopes. However, this Linux app is interesting because it doesn’t sell itself as a VPN, a browser, or even a service. Rather, it’s a quiet background tool that gives you privacy without any company in between. It’s unique, and that’s why it’s caught my interest.
