I don't think I want to hook IE up to Tor. What I want to be able to do is open one, use it as usual, close it, then open the other. If I do that, what will happen? Is that even feasible?
For example, if I use Tor, then I can't run any site that uses some kind of plug-in. If I wanted to view I site that uses them, then my idea is that I would close Tor and use IE. What results would that yield? Do I have to disable plug-ins throughout my computer? -----Original Message----- From: Roger Dingledine <[email protected]> To: tor-talk <[email protected]> Sent: Sun, Jul 14, 2013 12:26 am Subject: Re: [tor-talk] Will Tor affect Internet Explorer?

If you want to be a normal Tor user, it's good to have a look through the above list, and try to understand as much as you can. But you don't have to know what a socks proxy is, or what it means to fork Firefox, in order to be a normal Tor user. But in that case, you *do* need to just use Tor Browser Bundle or Tails as-is. That's why we wrote them for you. It's when you want to do non-standard things, like hook up another browser to Tor, that you need to learn enough about what's going on to realize why that's (usually) a bad idea. --Roger _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
