>> BROWSER SECURITY

[OPSEC] Securing your Tor Browser for TorZon access.

>> SECURITY SETTINGS

  • [1] Set Security Level to "Safest"

>> BROWSER FINGERPRINTING

Websites can identify you by browser characteristics. Tor Browser fights this:

  • [WINDOW] Don't maximize - keeps standard dimensions
  • [EXTENSIONS] Adding extensions = unique fingerprint
  • [FONTS] Tor Browser limits font detection
  • [CANVAS] Blocks canvas fingerprinting

[DON'T]
