I am using a macbook and was wondering if I should still get the bootable USB drive with Liberte or can I use torbrowser directly from my mac to use SR. What are the risks? thanks.

Use the Liberte bootable USB. Follow the instructions on the website for 'uEFI' systems, and select 'Framebuffer Graphics' from the boot menu.
You can use the TOR browser bundle on your Mac, but it's possible for you to inadvertently do something that breaks your anonymity. You can use Liberte or Tails inside of a virtual machine like VirtualBox, which will be safer than running it natively.
The risk is basically that LEO links your SR activity to your computer and/or your address, and you get arrested. Only you can decide how much security you need. The forums are filled with info.
I'd say that buying BTC via cash bank deposit, running the coin through a few tumblers, and having your drugs delivered to a drop address, all while using a liveUSB of Liberte on a public WiFi is probably sufficient for the general SR user.

So am I safe if I boot to a USB drive running Liberte from a public WiFi connection to use SR, but still using my computer? Thanks.
