[tor-talk] Tor browser won't become the standard one...

Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Hi, I just entered the Tor-community and can?t set the Tor-browser as standard. I tried it by using the settings within the browser and also with the Windows(10) function to assign certain apps to browse or whatever. In the list provided by W10 are only Chrome(which I normally use), IE and Edge. I noticed that your browser is recognized as Firefox by Google. Can there be a conflict? Must I install Firefox to get it in that list? Thanks in advance for any reply.

Works like a charm on my 7x64 Regards, Andrej ** Andrej I don't know what you mean by TBBs. And you are mentioning Firefox but the problem is with the Tor browser. Meanwhile I also downloaded Firefox and there is everything ok, simple settings you can adjust. Any ideas n e 1 ?

Hey Wim, When talking about TBB the Tor Browser Bundle is meant. (Including vidalia and little-t-tor; You are calling it just Tor Browser but it's the same thing) TBB is built using the Firefox Kernel with some additions/extensions and mostly just a secure/careful configuration. So if you are using TBB / the Tor Browser you are always using Firefox. You can manually by following this guide on Option 2. Here you need to select the path to your firefox.exe (usually in the "Tor Browser" Folder) manually. http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/7811-open-change-default-program-windows-8-a.html Please let us know if this helped, Andrej Wim Van Loock schrieb > Message: 2 > Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2015 07:23:39 +0200 > From: "Wim Van Loock" > To: > Subject: [tor-talk] Tor browser won't become the standard one... > Message-ID: > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > Hi, > > I just entered the Tor-community and can?t set the Tor-browser > as standard.

[tor-talk] M.Hearn adds privacy depriority to Bitcoin XT, calls your Tor/Proxy/etc use "unimportant"
http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2015-August/010379.html https://github.com/bitcoinxt/bitcoinxt/commit/73c9efe74c5cc8faea9c2b2c785a2f5b68aa4c23 Bitcoin XT contains an unmentioned addition which periodically downloads lists of Tor IP addresses for blacklisting, this has considerable privacy implications for hapless users which are being prompted to use the software. The feature is not clearly described, is enabled by default, and has a switch name which intentionally downplays what it is doing (disableipprio). Furthermore these claimed anti-DoS measures are trivially bypassed and so offer absolutely no protection whatsoever. ... -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
[tor-talk] Optimizing Tor Browser Bundle for use with Hidden Service Websites
Tor was built for anonymous use for the World Wide Web and Clearnet websites. However, I am wondering if there is a way we can optimize (or build from scratch) Tor for use with Hidden Service Websites to make browsing Hidden Services to faster and more efficient. The Hidden Service Websites are the backbone of the Tor Browser Bundle and think we should start talking about optimizing the Tor software for use with Hidden Service websites, so it functions just as well as Clearnet websites. -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
