For regular use, its fine but for anything serious or secure, I wouldn't rely on it. If you have the Tor Firefox, stick with it. It has been best configured to work with their service so it would be your best bet. | |

| Dec 31, 2013 at 20:14 | comment | added | user3079044 | Should I switch to firefox? I have the Tor firefox browser. :) | |
| Dec 31, 2013 at 20:07 | comment | added | user3079044 | I think I'll also switch browsers. Which one do you recommend? | |
| Dec 31, 2013 at 7:34 | comment | added | GµårÐïåñ | If you are using Chrome which I don't recommend with Tor given that its very chatty in phoning home to Google, so not exactly stealth, anyway just go to about:plugins -> locate Adobe Flash Player -> Click Disable. Now go to Settings -> Show Advanced Settings (at the bottom of page) -> Click Content Settings under Privacy -> Under JavaScript select Do not allow any site to run javascript and that's it, you are done. | |

In Firefox you go to Addons -> Plugins -> Disable all by setting them to "Never Activate" and for JavaScript, Mozilla in their infinite wisdom decided to make it difficult to disable JS, so you need to go to about:config -> type javascript, locate the option javascript.enabled -> double click to change to false (assuming its true now) and that's it. | |
