Hello all,
I just visited the Tor website, since I wanted to download the latest version
for Mac OS. Well, I was hoping to find a Tor + Polipo Bundle without anything
else, but it looks like those have been abandoned sadly, all I could find was
the Tor Browser portable app.
As I'm completely blind, I access my computer using the built-in VoiceOver
screen reader for Mac OS. My understanding is that the Tor Browser is based on
Firefox. Since Firefox unfortunately is completely inaccessible to me on the
Mac, the same thing goes for the Tor Browser. On earlier versions of Tor and
Polipo, I would simply download it, install the program package, then access
the contents of the application bundle, edit the config files for Tor and
Polipo and then launch Tor through the command line, after which I could then
configure my own programs to use either Polipo or Tor directly. With the new
approach, this seems to be much harder as it seems like Tor + Polipo, or just a
plain Tor binary can no longer be downloaded for Mac OS, which, as it seems,
means less flexibility. I guess I could just grab the source and compile it
myself, but I guess one would have to download XCode to do this on a Mac - and
unfortunately I just don't have the data capacity for such a huge download…
Am I just missing something here, or is there really no other wway of obtaining
a 'plain' binary of Tor for Mac OS?
Many thanks for any help!
Robin
