No lol.

HTML5 canvas image extraction (as tor calls it) can be used to fingerprint your computer.

Scroll down a little bit to read about it.

Nope. That's actually different to what the OP is asking about. Tor advises against full screen as it reveals details like monitor resolution and toolbar sizes.

Oops, my bad. Guess I should've read the thread more carefully.

Not only can I not find any mention of anything to the effect of "Don't admit to using Tor" anywhere in the docs, Tor would be very shitty if it relied on people not knowing you used it, as that is almost exactly the definition of security through obscurity.

As for your later statement, if I have the resources to even attempt to track you through Tor, I definitely have the resources to know that you're using Tor without you explicitly saying so. It's blatantly obvious that someone is using Tor when a bunch of encrypted 512-byte packets are getting sent back and forth.

its easy to identify tor's exit nodes due to the packet types. it is easy for the police to know you are using tor if the can sniff out you private internet connection (read about the SR1 founder arrest).
but tor is suggesting anything it can to improve you security, if you are committing crimes that can get you in jail i guess that you will act as much as paranoid that you can.

There have been a few cases of someone being arrested for doing something stupid while using tor, like if a threatening email was received and they suspect it was sent from a certain place, say a university, they can see who was using Tor at that time. This problem is mitigated by always using Tor, not just when you're being stupid.

The IPs of the exit nodes are fucking published...

Not only that, iirc they nabbed SR1 founder off of logs and the internet records from the cafe, AKA sheer stupid luck.

DPR did many more stupid things, including logging in to the silkroad server without Tor from his hotel wifi. He also bought the server with his personal email which had his real name in it.
It's kind of a mystery how he wasn't caught earlier and he also got more unlucky with the fact that his court case was the first of its kind so he was made an example ending up with him getting a life sentence in prison.

haha another 12 year old kid upset his life is shit and he hears his mom get nailed by a stranger every Saturday night. lol

I don't think the reason people don't like you is because their life is shit but instead because you are constantly spreading bullshit on threads where the you clearly lack any kind of knowledge about the topic being discussed.
Not only do you lack any sort of skill but you go on to make childish insults instead of making an effort to learn something from someone more knowledgeable than you.

Ik it was something like that, even though everyone was like "omg feds ub3rpwnd him nobody safe omg omg". They'd have not caught shit without him letting them.
