[tor-talk] Article: Best Alternatives to Tor

[Colin Mahns]

I like how a couple of the alternatives to "Tor" in this article are
Tails and Whonix. What do they use for anonymity again? Oh yeah, Tor...

They also list Disconnect and Tox as an alternative, and then quickly
say they aren't alternatives. I'd say this writer was hoping for clickbait.
