![]() ![]() Tor Browser hides your location and prevents your web traffic from being tracked, making it virtually impossible to trace your activity on the internet. ![]() Orbot, meanwhile, provides anonymity for Android users. Alternatives to Tor include Epic Privacy Browser, Tor Browser Bundle, PirateBrowser, and DuckDuckGo. Tor Browser is available for Windows, Mac, and Android operating systems. When you launch Tor, you don't need to restart your computer or device each time. The main distinction, though, is that Tor takes a few moments to configure itself every time you launch it. Tor functions similarly to regular browsers. Installing Tor is as simple and easy as downloading popular and common browsers, such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, although neither provides as much privacy protection. Care should be taken when accessing this heavily encrypted collection of websites. However, while installing the software itself is safe, Tor can be used for risky activities, such as accessing the deep or dark webs. It is safe to install Tor Browser – after all, it was created to let users surf the internet safely and protect online privacy. With each relay of data, another layer of encryption is added so that by the time your data or traffic reaches its destination, it's virtually impossible to track back to its origin. Tor directs traffic through its vast volunteer overlay-network, which consists of more than 7,000 relays. If you (or someone) will enlighten me, I will do it and report back.All web traffic gets relayed through a huge network of open connections worldwide. Maybe my problem started with my not understanding the instruction: “You need to patch torbutton.js file inside of but I don’t know how to do that. I also checked with Panopticlick and got the same non-rounded screen-size. I was back to the non-rounded screen-size. Was this success? To make sure that the rounded size was being ‘detected’ and not just being brought back from some sort of cache, I cleaned the computer with Glary Utilities 4 and then with CCleaner 410 and then re-opened the browser and checked the screen-size with ip-check. I turned the computer on/off three times and still got the rounded size. I then removed xpi 1.6.7.0 and put 1.6.8.0pre1 in its place and then checked the screen-size with ip-check. I turned the computer on and off again three times but each time I could not reproduce the rounded screen-size. No, it was back to the original screen size. ![]() I then turned it on again, to check if I would get a rounded screen-size again. I closed the browser and turned off the computer. Via (Yes, I know that at least one contributor does not think much of this checking site, but –with JS enabled or disabled - it manages to detect the same screen size (not rounded) as Panopticlick does with JS enabled) I scrolled down to screen-size. I added the above xpis in turn – starting with 1.6.7.0 - to the ‘extensions’ folder found at:Ĭ\user\My Name\desktop\Tor browser\data\Browser\Profile default\Extensions. As there are no instructions I had to guess, as follows: I read the instruction: “You need to patch torbutton.js file inside of under Comment 13, but do/did not know how to do it. I downloaded the xpis: torbutton-1.6.7.0.xpi and torbutton-1.6.8.0pre1.xpi I downloaded Bug Report 9268 and read it. I probably did everything wrong but, as I suspect is the case with many people who use Tor, I didn’t/don’t really understand what is being said. ![]()
