Due to Apple's policies, there are no good ones. The least bad one is called Onion Browser and is recommended by the Tor Project.

You're making the typical newbie mistake of looking for crystal-clear one-size-fits-all universal advice. In practice, it all depends. Different tools provide different benefits while making different trade-offs. If you don't know whether you need Tails, read up on what Tails is and what it aims to achieve. Some people may benefit from a VPN (often for the same reasons they may benefit from a bridge), and for others it's pointless (but never harmful IMNSHO).

Don't rely on the advice of strangers on the internet. Real security comes from understanding your specific situations and the tools available to you.

I know this answer fricking sucks and doesn't help you, but anonymity is hard. If you don't feel like you have any specific personal situation you need to evaluate tools against, just install Tor Browser on the computer you are currently using and be happy – it works and is designed to meet most regular needs.

It's just a browser, you can use it to connect to any modern website, including the one you're reading this comment on :-) You're referring to onion sites, which are often messy, slow or down. They are often run by amateurs, and also often written to work without JavaScript, which gives them that nineties feel.

I'm guessing the US arsenal of ATACMS missiles is rather limited and they have their own reasons for not making it smaller, which they can't go into detail about. Frustrating, but understandable.

First time I've heard of Ukraine using or even having thermobarics.

If you need a bridge, you can get one from here: https://bridges.torproject.org/options/

You can also get one from inside Tor Browser. Go to Settings, then Connection, and you'll see the Bridges section.

If those channels are unavailable to you, there's a Telegram bot that hands out bridges: https://t.me/s/tor_bridges

Bridges must never be shared publicly, so you will not get a bridge by asking for one in a public forum like this.

Also know that most people don't need bridges. They are mostly to get around network policies that block Tor nodes so that you can't connect in any other way. They also go some way to hide from your ISP (or other network administrators) that you're using Tor, but Tor's security and anonymity do not hinge on that.

The vast majority of people can start using Tor simply by downloading Tor Browser and using it out of the box. There's rarely a reason to feel overwhelmed.

Just leave the bulls alone.

It's disturbing. I deliberately avoid any community hosted on his lemmy.ml instance (the ml stands for Marxist-Leninism). I could certainly not stomach the Ukraine community there.

It's equally illegal, at least in my country.

All banks and bank-like institutions you might have access to will comply with the same anti money-laundering and know-your-customer regulations. It's not really up to the individual bank to decide.

The "Swiss bank account" is largely a thing of the past, as they are forced into data-sharing agreements with the United States and possibly others. And even so, you need to be a Swiss national to qualify for a bank account there.

You can use cash as much as possible when it's an option, of course. It's less convenient, but privacy often is.
