Extension summary

The "Button Onion Browser" is an extension that allows you to connect to the TOR network in your browser with a few clicks (use as a proxy).

This is a crucial note: the software in this add-on has no ties to the Tor® project and has none with the Tor® anonymity software or website. It's essentially an unofficial extension made and kept by its developer independently.

Please make sure your computer (PC or MAC) is connected to the TOR network before using this addon. Please see the section below if you don't know how to connect your PC or MAC to the TOR network. A patch has been created that will assist people in connecting to the TOR network easily. The patch may be obtained by visiting this (https://github.com/jeremy-jr-benthum/onion-browser-button/releases) GitHub repository and downloading (mac.zip) or (win.zip) files.

Please follow the steps below to connect your computer to the TOR network after downloading the patch.

  1. For PC users, download and unzip "win.zip" to your computer, while Mac users should download and unzip "mac.zip."

  2. Please execute the "run.bat" file within the "win" folder on a Windows computer. Please run "run.sh" in the "win" folder on a Mac.

  3. The first time you run the program, it will guide you through an easy-to-follow procedure. You will be asked to select a destination from 6 options. Please hit 1 on your keyboard to start the TOR connection on your computer, and when "Tor is connected successfully!" appears on the screen, you can utilize the Tor Browser Button add-on to join your browser to the TOR network. Please press 2 in order to terminate the connection. To generate a new TOR identity, pick 5; while restarting Tor connection, please choose 6.
