Great , I've now also added this to the New *Dissenter* Web-browser to run alongside Advanced TOR (Advor) ,not just for access to the dark web (& escaping ICANN's monopoly on IP Domain Names) but to escape from censorship & Orwellian dictatorship over our data (on The Public / Normy Web as well) get Dissenter today (& comment anywhere anytime censorship free - based on the open sourced Chomeuim infrastructure (so like your current chrome flavored browser ,Like BRAVE but far more Superior) https://dissenter.com/download#download
