With JS and cookies disabled and using a VPN you can get a decent browsing experience without tor slowness and blocks. At least your browsing is mixed with thousand people.

Sure. But lately I keep hearing that these users are implicitly under attack by constantly requiring them to fill CAPTCHAs.

Which is the advantage of implementing it by default in common browsers. Sites can afford to neglect the experience of the 1% of users who are using Tor but not the 80% of users who have installed the latest browsers.

I haven't experienced any captcha so far. I did when using tor.

That's exactly what I was saying: that many websites' algorithms punish you for choosing privacy (Tor) by making you fill captchas all the time.

Oh, now I get it. Great idea. Also implement Namecoin support would be great.
