- Rated 1 out of 5by user2859025, a year agoFollowed the instructions down to a T, still doesn't establish a a connection to Tor. Completely useless add-on.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15614831, a year agoCan't you just start tor.exe without all the Node.JS middleware? It's a fair bit of work to install that.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Neil Gager, 2 years agoFor what it's worth, if you've got the "Windscribe - Free Proxy and Ad Blocker" add-on, you need to disable it. Even when it's been turned off (but not disabled) it stops this add-on from working, for me, it did anyway.👍
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17314060, 3 years agoFollowed _exactly_the install instructions given and ended up with a full re-install of FF 0.97 to get my browser working again.
did the following:
0. installed this addon
1. Download “Tor Bundle” and extract it in a local directory (https://github.com/andy-portmen/tor-bundle/releases). Put it into ~/.tor-bundle
2. put userdir/.tor-bundle into the options page text box and saved
3. downloaded the native client from https://github.com/andy-portmen/native-client/releases and installed it into ~/.tor-client and then ran ./install.sh script
4. browser console appeared on my gui (fedora 35 + gnome 41) and started spewing massive amounts of errors:
stderr output from native app com.add0n.node: node:events:498
stderr output from native app com.add0n.node: throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event

- Rated 5 out of 5by Carlos, 4 years agoIt seems to work fine and it's easy to configure.
You only need to install first this extension and then follow the instructions given by the developer:
1.-Download “Tor Bundle” and extract it in a local directory (https://github.com/andy-portmen/tor-bundle/releases).
2.-Open options page and paste the “root” of the extracted folder in the text box.
3.-Install the native client either from the extension or manually from https://github.com/andy-portmen/native-client/releases
4.-Open the toolbar panel and check Tor integration. - Rated 5 out of 5by V&S, 4 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by MaxthonFan, 5 years agoWorks just as intended. Yes, the installation is not 'just click continue' with a nice GUI installer, but I guess the addon's target group isn't the typical BDU either.
