Description: |
|
|
|
In this third Tor article, we will discover the web browser **Tor |
|
Browser**. |
|
|
|
The **Tor Browser** is an official Tor project. It is a modified |
|
Firefox, including some defaults settings changes and some extensions. |
|
The default changes are all related to privacy and anonymity. It has |
|
been made to be easy to browse the Internet through Tor without |
|
leaving behind any information which could help identify you, because |
|
there are much more information than your public IP address which |
|
could be used against you. |
|
|
|
It requires tor daemon to be installed and running, as I covered in my |
|
first Tor article. |
|
|
|
Using it is really straightforward. |
|
|
|
#### How to install tor-browser |
|
|
|
$ pkg_add tor-browser |
|
|
|
#### How to start tor-browser |
|
|
|
$ tor-browser |
|
|
|
It will create a ~/TorBrowser-Data folder at launch. You can remove it |
|
as you want, it doesn't contain anything sensitive but is required for |
|
it to work. |
