Changing the website title to something more innocuous will prevent prying eyes from finding out what you're really up to. Instead of having open tabs that say "Welcome! | Silk Road", "Silk Road forums - Index", "Drug safety" etc, how about "Google", "reddit: the front page of the internet", "Engadget" etc?

just stay off the road when your mom is home, and it will be ok

Hit that little minus sign looking thing in the top right if you dont want people to see what you are doing

You wouldn't have to do that if the website titles were different. Just saying.

Supersecretsquirrel, that would have NOTHING to do with tormail...
innocuous?
What are you... twelve?
Do be awfully brief... ::)

Haha, if you are seriously concerned with your security you wouldn't use SR while your mom was home, you still wouldn't use it if the titles were changed. If you aren't really that concerned, you will use it regardless.

Wait, what? What does tormail have to do with this?

Yep, that's true. However, having "Silk Road" as part of the website title is an added risk, and it's something that can be fixed in just a few minutes. That way, you don't have to hide the browser if/when your mom/wife/husband/boss walks in.

Firefox add-on Tab Renamizer?

Adding third-party stuff to TBB is a bad idea, if you ask me.

But then so is buying drugs off the internet while your mum is watching.

sss,
I'm sorry I mocked you earlier, it was lame of me. :-\
Your heart is in the right place, but, when you think it over, makes no diffs what you call the site...
Big pictures of pills and weed and shit are all over the front page, so you could call it 'sesame street' and what difference would it make.
Secondly, there are about +6,000 active members of this site in the entire world... (Go see the members list).
maybe half as many LEO's know about this site currently, and a few shitheads in various governments... or to put it another way, even I thought Silk Road was just something to do with Mongolian history about a month ago!
It won't last forever; once Barbara Walters et al wake up, Silk Road (or whatever you want to call it) will be synonymous with 'Evil'...Bua-hahahaha!!!
Yup, once some do-gooder doofus producer puts SR on prime-time, the owners and dealers will become multi-millionaires, and the war on drugs will be pretty much won by the 'dark side', no matter how many dumfuck SR users they catch and parade on the news.
Like other users have said, just don't surf in risky environments... I have visions of you logging in sitting in a cubicle at 'Straight & Narrow Inc.'...
Good grief, man! Just say no to drugs -at work.

So you have never found yourself opening a new tab just to hide what you were originally looking at? In that case, calling it "sesame street" would actually make a difference.

Dude, its not going to happen. If it worries you that much why not have two browsers open? Have a couple of innocuous things open in one and do your secret stuff in the other one. Set your taskbar to autohide itself too. Then when mum comes in your room you just have to minimise your secret browser and she will think you were just looking up basket weaving courses. Simples.

...can the SR pics show the simpson's family, 1st Homer, Marge, Bart last and it doesn't matter which order Lisa & Maggie are..... and change to the drugs i'm buying when i move the mouse over it; maybe a theme button to switch between the Simpsons and Ben 10....?!
;D

Invest in 3M privacy cover
or
Keep chrome open, and keep chrome window slightly larger than torbrowser window, then if there is an issue you can just click the window behind. Keep 1 hand on the keyboard. Alt-tab, boom, done. You can also use the webdev addon to disable pictures and make all the text black and white. You could probably use greasemonkey to change the silk road logo and all pictures to random pokemon too. Just be creative man.

Good point, but only valid for laptops.

Sure, alt-tab would work. I'm not going to add anything, such as plugins or scripts, to TBB, though. That sounds like highway to deanonymization to me.
