• Avoid Maximizing: Even if it feels small, resisting the urge to click "maximize" is one of the easiest ways to protect your identity.

• Letterboxing: Tor uses a feature called "Letterboxing" to add gray margins around your webpage. This allows the window to be larger while keeping the actual viewing area at a generic, common size.

How to Stay Anonymous
• Keep the Default: When you open Tor, it starts at a standard size (usually multiples of \bm{200 \times 100}). Keep it that way.

To contact Tor support, use the official channels: visit the Tor Project Support Portal, email frontdesk@torproject.org, join their Telegram/Signal groups, or use the Tor Forum for community help, with specific emails for donations or security issues like security@torproject.org.

Well glad you asked , it still contains
potential PDF parsing bugs
🐛 🐞 🐜

It also doesn’t protect against
malware inside the file(s)
🦠

And it doesn’t remove PDF metadata.

Do NOT Use Google Search: Google is hostile to Tor users. It will frequently block you, serve endless CAPTCHAs, or track your search queries.

Do NOT Open Downloaded Documents Online: If you download a PDF, Word doc, or media file, do not open it while your computer is connected to the internet. These files can contain scripts that "phone home" to a server outside of the Tor network, revealing your real IP address.

👉 Do NOT Torrent over Tor:

This is the single biggest technical mistake. Torrent clients often ignore proxy settings and make direct connections, revealing your real IP address to every peer in the swarm. It also slows down the Tor network for everyone else.

The Tor Browser is a powerful tool for anonymity, but it is fragile. Your anonymity relies almost entirely on your behavior; a single mistake can deanonymize you instantly, rendering the browser's protections useless.

VPN → Tor
(Connect to VPN first, then open Tor Browser.)

Pros:
• ISP cannot see you’re using Tor
• Extra layer if Tor connection fails

Cons:
• VPN becomes an additional trust point
• Not required for safety

Opening files outside Tor Browser
• (PDFs, docs, images → can ping the internet and leak IP)

Tor does not try to hide the fact that a user is using Tor; it tries to make it impossible to know where they are going. This correlation is a difficult-to-solve architectural challenge.

Network Monitoring/Testing

Use tools like Ooni Probe (an open-source project) to check your local internet connection for blocked or modified content, testing for government censorship.

⭐️ Run a Tor Relay: Become a volunteer node in the Tor network. By running a relay (a Guard, Middle, or Exit relay, if you're comfortable with the responsibilities), you contribute to the freedom and privacy of others globally. ⭐️ #tor #torbrowser #relay #torbrowser

Tor Browser also stripped out or substituted several Mozilla/Firefox service hooks and branding components — including auxiliary features like “Firefox Home” — to further decouple Tor Browser from upstream integrations and maintain a hardened, privacy-centric environment.

Tor Browser’s developers intentionally removed or turned off the AI features recently added to Firefox, explaining that machine-learning tools are “inherently impossible to fully audit” and could threaten user privacy.

Both are best when nobody knows exactly what’s inside. 😄

Notice: IMAGES ARE FOR ILLUSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY.
THEY ARE SENT IN BY OUR USERS/ FOLLOWERS .

TOR IS NOT ABOUT MAKING IMAGES.

WE FOCUS ON BROWSING ANONYMOUSLY.

Excuse the images from our users/followers.

Perhaps we will NOT share any images and focus strictly on TEXT explanations.

It was simply for the illustrations. Should we create an actual jpeg image in paint-shop/photoshop for you? I mean, we CAN …

Majority of these images are sent in .

⚠️ Important Notes
• Tor hides your location and activity, but it doesn’t make you invincible.
• The Exit Node can see unencrypted data if you visit non-HTTPS sites.
• Downloading files or logging into personal accounts can still reveal your identity.

In countries or networks where certain websites are blocked, Tor helps users bypass censorship and access the open internet freely.
