Tor Browser settings worth checking before opening Tor Watch
The address is only half of the picture; the browser opening it matters too.
Stay updated
Install Tor Browser updates promptly. Old versions may have known weaknesses that a malicious copy of Tor Watch could target.
Security level
The Safer and Safest levels limit scripts and media. Many information pages work fine with them enabled.
No extra extensions
Adding extensions makes your browser more unique and adds code you have not reviewed.
Use bookmarks carefully
Bookmark a Tor Watch onion link only after verifying it, and label the bookmark with the review date.
