- (2023-06-30) C A L: Yes, it does work, but you need to read the FAQ after installing the browser extension. In a nutshell, you need to install a little program, downloadable on GitHub, and run it (it will open in the terminal). It acts as a proxy server in the background. Then you need to open your browser extension options, and to get it connected to the local TOR proxy (click the purple bunch of grapes logo). Then go to your favorite .onion web sites, from your favorite web browser, and the websites will show up just like they would in TOR.

- (2020-09-09) Center for Anomaly Control and Study: Not compatable with chromebook. Activate the original proxy with the original browser, otherwise this isn't any better than a chrome vpn extension.

- (2019-07-21) Sebastián Pereira: Отлично работает. Тор всегда запущен в фоне, приложение само все нашло, само подключилось, пусть депутаты своим чебурнетом пользуются, а я свободный человек.
- (2019-07-17) Ehsan Izadi: Works like a charm on my Linux
- (2019-05-31) A Liber Excogitatoris: Given the obstacle known as Cloudflare (that will appear often with the use of this,) one really is better off using the current version of Tor (which has a better chance of getting by it;) With that said... If one should opt to use this, then use it in combination with AdvOR, instead of the limited and sometimes troublesome, recommended patch. Just download AdvOR; run it, and then launch Brave (with this addon already applied). The features and benefit to using AdvOR far outweigh the patch. Just try it and see for yourself. Note: I've no connection to the aforementioned, and am only sharing the knowledge in the hopes that users might choose to apply the "become a server" feature and provide more nodes than currently exist.
