It is certainly possible to modify Tor Browser further, or modify Firefox to improve privacy of the browser instead. after applying changes from the Ghacks user.js file for Firefox and installing the add-ons that Tor browser comes with by default ( HTTPS Everywhere and NoScript). It works similarly to a heavily modified version of Firefox in that regard, e.g. Tor Browser loads as quickly as any other web browser once you have made the modifications. Switch from Manual Proxy Configuration to No Proxy.Scroll down to the Network section and activate the Settings button.Load about:preferences#general in the browser's address bar.Locate Tor Launcher and click on the disable button next to it to disable the extension.Load about:addons in the Tor Browser address bar.Use the search on the page to display _tor.Double-click on the preference to set it to false.Load about:config in the browser's address bar.You need to start Tor Browser to make the following modifications to it.Īttention: I suggest you use a portable copy of the browser to make these modifications and keep an original copy on the computer as well you may then use either one of the solutions depending on what you want to do on the Internet. After upgrading Tor Browser to version 9.0, to run it without connecting to оnion network, we need to use environment variables TOR_SKIP_LAUNCH=1 and TOR_TRANSPROXY=1.
Update: Tor Browser 9.0 has been released. Tor is the better choice when it comes to critical tasks, e.g. by connecting to a VPN or even chaining VPN services and it would speed things up significantly. It is arguably the browser with the best default privacy configuration which might make it attractive to some users.ĭropping Tor reduces privacy while online but that can be compensated, e.g. Tor Browser without Tor would still provide better out-of-the-box privacy than Firefox ESR or Firefox Stable - and other browsers. What makes it special is that all connections go through several severs of the Tor network before they connect to the destination.Ĭonnections to Tor improve privacy when you are online but could you, in theory, run Tor Browser without Tor?
