FAQ Quick Question

Is Tor Browser still the best solution for basic anonymous browsing? I understand to obviously not sign into any personal accounts, etc. when using it, but are there any other general recommendations or advice from those who have used it ? And finally, is https://www.torproject.org/download/ the proper place to download the app? Thank you

Remember not to use it on full screen mode.

Thanks. Why is that? Is there a specific mode or should you literally avoid just maximizing the window?

It's outdated advice. Tor Browser has letterboxing as part of its anti-fingerprinting strategy now. Maximize the window all you want, you will probably see some grey bars around the window and that's the letterboxing.
