It is certainly possible to modify Tor Browser further, or modify Firefox to improve privacy of the browser instead.Ī lack of interception of OS-based keypresses could be considered a privacy and security PLUS not a minus, mate.

after applying changes from the Ghacks user.js file for Firefox and installing the add-ons that Tor browser comes with by default ( HTTPS Everywhere and NoScript). It works similarly to a heavily modified version of Firefox in that regard, e.g. Tor Browser loads as quickly as any other web browser once you have made the modifications. Switch from Manual Proxy Configuration to No Proxy.Scroll down to the Network section and activate the Settings button.Load about:preferences#general in the browser's address bar.Locate Tor Launcher and click on the disable button next to it to disable the extension.Load about:addons in the Tor Browser address bar.Use the search on the page to display _tor.Double-click on the preference to set it to false.Load about:config in the browser's address bar.Attention: I suggest you use a portable copy of the browser to make these modifications and keep an original copy on the computer as well you may then use either one of the solutions depending on what you want to do on the Internet.
