Word of warning: if you want to stay anonymous, you should use Tor
Browser or Tails.  Icecat is a bad choice, it has few users and its
developers added some custom code that makes it very easy to figure out
your aren't running vanilla Firefox.

As far as I understand it:

How can I use Tor Browser or Tails in Guix?

I would have to use Tails through a usb-stick, without installing it on the harddisk - am I right?

How could I use Tor Browser with Guix?

Hi Guixers,

I installed "tor".

Do I also need "tor-client" and "torsocks"?

I don't know what they are for.

I don't want to have too many packages, so if I don't need them to run
tor, I can uninstall them.

You can just use tor and set your browser or whatever to use it as a
proxy.  Torsocks mostly does the same thing.  Kind of.  (Not really.)
