<h1>Tor Browser Bundle</h1>
<p>Tor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against traffic analysis, a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security.<sup><a href="#s1">[1]</a></sup> This article is about the desktop Tor Browser Bundle, which is based on Firefox. Tor itself can be used with any browser.</p>
<h2>Spyware Level: <span class="yellowgreen">Low</span></h2>
<p>The Tor browser is a privacy focused web browser that is used to access the internet through the Tor Network. Connections through the Tor network are much more private than normal connections as you do not have an IP address that is associated with you. While spyware services can tell that you are connecting from the Tor network, their ability to identify and profile you is greatly reduced.</p>
<br/>
<p>Tor Browser has automatic updates, and sends telemetry, albeit over Tor.</p>
<br/>
<p>If you go to about:networking, you will see several addresses that are affiliated with Mozilla, even before Tor is connected. You can <a href="../guides/tbb.html">mitigate the spyware</a>, but note that there is a chance that it will be overwritten by future updates.</p>

<h1>Tor Browser</h1>
<p>
Tor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against traffic analysis, a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security.<sup><a href="#1">[1]</a></sup>
</p>
<h2>Spyware Level: <font color="lime">Not Spyware</font></h2>
<p>
The Tor browser is a privacy focused web browser that is used to access the internet either normally or through the Tor Network.
Connections through the Tor network are much more private than normal connections as you do not have an IP address that is
associated with you. While spyware services can tell that you are connecting from the Tor network, their ability to identify and profile you is
greatly reduced. Tor browser is <b><font color="lime">Not Spyware</font></b> and is the best web browser to use for privacy.
</p>
<p>
One thing that complicates this review is that most browsers are chastised for sending auto-update requests. However, the Tor browser is doing
this over the Tor network... so while it's definitely "phoning home", it's doing so in an anonymous way.

<h1>Tor Browser Mitigation Guide</h1>
<p><b>Note</b>: Changing browser settings on TBB is not recommended by some, as they argue it is bad because it increases fingerprinting. Please also note that this is SpywareWatchdog, and not FingerprintWatchdog.</p>
<br/>
<p>After following this guide the rating changes thusly:</p>
<h2>Spyware Rating: <span class="yellowgreen">Low</span> &rarr; <span class="green">Not Spyware</span></h2>
<p> Besides using the torrc configuration file, or host files, the only way to completely remove the connections is to unpack two omni.ja files, and remove all the addresses, and then re-zip the omni.ja files.</p>
<br/>
<p>Find your omni.ja files:</p>
<code class="big-code">
find . -name omni.ja
</code>
<p>Unpack them (do this for both of them separately):</p>
<code class="big-code">
mkdir unpack
<br/>
mv omni.ja unpack
<br/>
cd unpack
<br/>
unzip omni.ja
</code>
<p>Remove telementry:</p>
<code class="big-code">
find ./Browser/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sed -i 's/https\:\/\/firefox\.settings\.services\.mozilla\.com\/v1\/buckets\/main\/collections\/nimbus-desktop-experiments\/records//g';
<br/>
find ./Browser/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sed -i 's/https\:\/\/firefox\.settings\.services\.mozilla\.com\/v1\/buckets\/main-preview\/collections\/search-config\/records//g';
<br/>
find ./Browser/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sed -i 's/https\:\/\/firefox\.settings\.services\.mozilla\.com\/v1\/buckets\/main\/collections\/search-config\/records//g';
<br/>
find ./Browser/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sed -i 's/https\:\/\/firefox\.settings\.services\.mozilla\.com\/v1//g';
<br/>
find ./Browser/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sed -i 's/onecrl\.content-signature\.mozilla\.org//g';
<br/>
find ./Browser/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sed -i 's/remote-settings\.content-signature\.mozilla\.org//g';
<br/>
find ./Browser/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sed -i 's/normandy\.content-signature\.mozilla\.org//g';
</code>
<p>Replace the omni.ja files:</p>
<code class="big-code">
mv omni.ja back.omni.ja
<br/>
zip -0DXqr omni.ja *
<br/>
mv omni.ja ..
</code>
<p>Disable auto updates:</p>
<code class="big-code">
mkdir -p Browser/distribution/
</code>
<p>Create file <code>Browser/distribution/policies.json</code> and put in:</p>
<code class="big-code">{<br/> "policies": {<br/> "DisableAppUpdate": true<br/> }<br/>}</code>
<br/>
<p>All done!</p>
