Let’s take a look at what configuration is necessary to start using Tor today. For the purposes of clarity and ease of understanding, I’ve rewritten the tutorial with the blessing of the original author. While the original tutorial can be found here, it assumes some advanced technical knowledge.
One such workaround was noted in a tutorial shared by Jose Mendoza that requires nothing more than an Android smartphone and two specific apps. Luckily, and perhaps unsurprisingly, users of Tor are often eager to create workarounds that circumvent silly things like whether a feature exists or not. Unfortunately, even if the Chrome Team opts to start working on Tor integration as a mainline feature, there will still be a period of time before support hits a stable build. A member of the Tor project also chimed in to vocalise that they would be more than happy to help where possible – a fantastic step in the right direction. That ticket has recently been revived by a couple of comments from project members interested in exploring what needs to be done.
Luckily, there is a simple way to install a genuine Tor browser on your Chromebook. These are tailored for small portrait-mode screens. The version of the website that you’ll see is the responsive one. The websites that you visit think that you’re on a mobile device (such as a smartphone). There is a Tor Android app and, because Chromebooks can run Android apps, you can use that on your Chromebook. The Tor website says that there is no official Tor client for ChromeOS. Most major newspapers own an onion site on the Tor network so that anonymous sources can deliver stories and tip-offs while remaining anonymous. In some repressive regimes, Tor is the only way to reach clear-web websites that have been banned in those countries. And there are many valid reasons-the dark web isn’t all bad. You should only visit the dark web if you have a good or otherwise compelling reason to do so. There’s a lot of dreadful content on the dark web. The Tor network is a darknet and a part of the dark web.
