Browser for anonymous networks linux

Since the week of anonymous networks is on Habré ...

To use anonymous networks, etc., you need a browser. Using the main browser installed on the system is not entirely correct, since it stores the cache and personal settings in the user's home folder. And it’s not very convenient when links from anonymous networks start to glow in the main browser. Clearing history every time or using incognito mode is a bad option in my opinion. Yes, and reconfiguring the proxy settings every time is also not very convenient.

You can, of course, create profiles in the browser, but again, you need to remember to switch between them (the next time you start, the last used profile starts).

Tor comes with its own version of the browser (outdated firefox), but when using i2p, for example, the problem is relevant.

So far, the only solution that came to mind:

./chromium --user-data-dir=./profiles --disk-cache-dir=./tmp --proxy-server=http://localhost:

4444 are you up to this task?

Why portable?
If necessary, I launch the browser via sudo from another specially created user.
Pros:
+ quickly and easily configured
+ the browser does not have access to your personal files and settings (if the rights are set correctly)
+ all information is easily backed up and / or destroyed
Cons:
- works in the same Xes as other applications (and therefore the browser can see the interface of other applications and simulate user actions with it)

AgentSIB Rights The simplest thing is to install truecrypt, for example, create a container for half a gigabyte and fill in the chronium from which to make a portable. And your issue is resolved. Everything is encrypted, your favorite browser, and history and cache and autocomplete work.
