<p>Next, we'll do some slight configuration changes, starting with the automatic connection:</p>
<img src="1.png" class="imgRz">
<p>Then we make sure that all javascript is disabled, using the shield option on the top right corner, make sure it's set to the "Safest" setting:</p>
<img src="2.png" class="imgRz">
<p>Then a personal preference, let's switch on the dark theme:</p>
<img src="3.png" class="imgRz">
<img src="4.png" class="imgRz">
<p>And from there you can start browsing. You can browse the clearnet first to see how the tor connection works:</p>
<img src="5.png" class="imgRz">
<p>As you can see here, when browsing to the clearnet, your traffic is being encapsulated threefold, meaning that you are entrusting your connection to 3 tor node owners around the globe. And on top of that, they are in 3 different countries.</p>
<img src="6.png" class="imgRz">
<p>Next, when you browse to a website that can be accessed via a .onion link, you might get the above message that shows up. I prefer to not prioritize onions to avoid unnecessary page refreshes. Instead i click on the .onion available button if it appears.</p>
<img src="7.png" class="imgRz">
<p>Now when you're connected to the .onion hidden service, you can see that your connection goes through more tor nodes, this is the best way to access websites online, you're not leaking any info they don't need to know that way. Plus, since we are on the "safest" setting, we are not loading any javascript that may be used to fingerprint our activity online. </p>
