The Safest mode will also most likely break many websites that rely actively on JavaScript.

The Safest level should only be enabled if you think you are accessing suspicious or dangerous websites or if you are extra paranoid. I would recommend the “Safer” level for most cases. Any media playback is “click to play” (disabled by default) JavaScript is disabled on non-HTTPS websites All features are enabled (including JavaScript) And Snowflake bridges as a second option.Īt this point, still before connecting, you should click the little shield Icon (upper right, next to the Address bar) and select your Security level (see for details). Personally, in the case of censorship or blocking, I would recommend using Meek-Azure bridges if needed. The Tor Network settings are there for you to possibly configure Bridges to connect to Tor if you are experiencing issues connecting to Tor due to Censorship or Blocking as explained here: Appendix X: Using Tor bridges in hostile environments.

After opening Tor Browser, you will see an option to connect, a checkbox to connect automatically and a button to go into Tor Network Settings.

This is valid for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
