Imagine How The FBI And NSA Would Flip Out If Tor Browsing Was Built Into Firefox Or Chrome?

All last week, we saw law enforcement types freaking out about the news that Apple and Google were making phone encryption a default. While a good step in the right direction, this was really kind of a minor thing, only protecting a small bit of information — and yet law enforcement folks went nuts.

So just imagine how crazy they‘ll go if Tor were embedded directly into Firefox as the default „private browsing mode,“ as was recently hinted at by Tor exec director Andrew Lewman.
