But even this vision making sense. See big companies with a lot of customers, and that now, we all know have corroborated with snooping...
In my vision it is to be naïve to believe that because of how people will look at them they wouldn't do it, they would still make money, say something... some excuses... Also, it seems like a vicious thing nowadays, companies and even people recording everything, even what is not necessary. And that can lead to privacy problems...
I really don't trust vmware, or windows... or even Google and so on. You can clearly see for example how Chrome takes screenshots when on the startpage you see those little frames of the pages most visited. Who can tell if there aren't more screen shots going up to the cloud?
And all the data collected, are they giving or not access to someone else? The browsers can even see the names of each file on a machine filesystem. That all can be collected. And I know that even using TOR you must be very careful, really careful. If you are just using it for privacy concerns, dont wanting people having every move you do registered and shared you can be more relaxed, it is easier and it is your right.
If you are not breaking any laws or intending to do so. There's no problem on using TOR (but be aware, if you go to the tor project website in an identifiable way, most likely you'll be in a 'list" from that moment on, that's what I heard and is probably true for what we can search online). But to pay a VPN provider for example is to pay to be snooped on big time! I am quite sure of that. They have logs and everything, plus your very personal data.
TOR is one of the best tools we have now. If not the best. Probably the best. It should be more developed by people who really know what they are doing, because if even now there is how to browse privately through the network, then with more work on it, no one would be able to really see those who really know how to use the service.
Me for example right now am using a version on MS OS, not the best, but I in the most am just trying to avoid those terrible data collection for ads purposes and having my browsing data collected from Google, Facebook (even what is done outside their website as they publicly stated) and Co. And I really have the vision that this is our right to browse in this way, of course also avoiding ISP's data collection.
Nice weekend you all

avahi-browse(1) General Commands Manual avahi-browse(1) NAME
avahi-browse - Browse for mDNS/DNS-SD services using the Avahi daemon SYNOPSIS
avahi-browse [options] service-type avahi-browse [options] --all avahi-browse [options] --browse-domains avahi-browse [options] --dump-db avahi-browse-domains [options] DESCRIPTION
Browse for mDNS/DNS-SD network services and browsing domains using the Avahi daemon. OPTIONS
Specify a DNS-SD service type (e.g. _http._tcp) to browse for on the command line, or -a to browse for all available service types. Items that appear on the network are prefixed with "+", items that disappear are prefixed with "-". If --resolve is passed items that are resolved are prefixed with "=". -a | --all Browse for all service types registered on the LAN, not just the one specified on the command line. -D | --browse-domains Browse for browsing domains instead for services. avahi-browse-domains is equivalent to avahi-browse --browse-domains -d | --domain= DOMAIN Browse in the specified domain. If omitted avahi-browse will browse in the default browsing domain (usually .local) -v | --verbose Enable verbose mode. -t | --terminate Terminate after dumping a more or less complete list. -c | --cache Terminate after dumping all entries available in the cache. -l | --ignore-local Ignore local services, show only remote services. -r | --resolve Automatically resolve services found. -f | --no-fail Don't fail if the daemon is not found running. Instead, wait until it appears. If it disconnects, try to reconnect. -p | --parsable Make output easily parsable for usage in scripts. If enabled fields are separated by semicolons (;), service names are escaped. It is recommended to combine this with --no-db-lookup. -k | --no-db-lookup Don't lookup services types in service type database. -b | --dump-db Dump the service type database (may be combined with -k) -h | --help Show help. -V | --version Show version information.
