It occurs to me that I should clarify here. 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 tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
