The "security slider" in Tor Browser is about disabling pieces of browser functionality, to reduce surface area. Another name for it that might give a better intuition would be "functionality filter". It is entirely about stuff inside the browser, like whether it renders certain image formats, whether it runs scripts, etc. There is no equivalent of that "disabling application level pieces" idea for the program called Tor: Tor just moves bytes back and forth for you, and aims to give you good security by default. (You will find advice on random websites out there, to add fifty new lines to your torrc or something. Those guides are usually bad ideas. Tor's defaults aim to keep most people safe, and since anonymity loves company, you are probably better off blending in with the crowds.) --Roger -- 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
