A princely escort:

The princes' highly recognizable faces (and Harry's iconic red hair) are hidden by their costumes, but in-the-know fans can be on the lookout for one specific scene. Boyega, who plays the former stormtrooper now known as Finn, says they appear guarding him in an elevator along with two other famous stormtroopers -- actor Tom Hardy and Gary Barlow from British pop group Take That.

  "It was a great experience," Boyega said of the scene with the princes, who are second- and fifth-in-line for the British throne. The London-born actor also called the elevator moment "the best of both worlds for me."

    Fuck that. Let's try NO PLUGINS, a system that randomizes fingerprinting, and as many countermeasures to information leakage as possible between tabs. I would seriously consider not only threads per window, but entirely separating running tabs into completely separate running programs with their own pipes, namespaces, etc. Something extremely safe for banking, but also isn't on the TOR network like Tails.

    You know all the plugins I actually use? Just all the bullshit to get rid of tracking and ads. If I want to download a YouTube video, I don't use a plugin for that anymore, and beyond that, I'm not really sure what plugins are really useful for me. Instead of plugins, I would much rather see the whole thing be open source and modularized like say Asterisk. Anything really cool, and really popular, should be rolled into the damn program. The author can take responsibility for their module and interact with the other coders. If it is that popular, people can install a version side-by-side with the stock version, that allows them to use it.

    That way I could install a browser, in a VM, in a Veracrypt container, and all of my banking information, passwords, etc. are used and contained within a dedicated system just for it. I already have this, but it is stock Chromium.

    Quite frankly, I think the whole plugin model is the problem by opening up the browser to too many attack vectors. That, and allowing tabs to communicate with each other at all. I want that ability to tailor custom browser tabs and rules on a per target basis.

    Your idea doesn't go far enough to address the real needs that we have, and that is to finally have absolute full control over the fingerprints, and to be able to present not just as anonymous, but an entirely random trackable identity that you share with others for the express purpose of Bayesian poisoning.
