[tor-talk] comparison of Tor and Kovri in regards to deanonymization attacks

[bo0od]

i didnt reply to him on what he said because i knew he was a newbie user
with the statement "you cannot browse cnn.com anonymously via I2P".

and about IBB, like i said there is until now no official support for
any browser to I2P or coming with it. But there is work in progress:

- firefox.profile.i2p

https://github.com/eyedeekay/firefox.profile.i2p

- update-i2pbrowser , which convert TBB inside Whonix to work with I2P:
