Unzipping a random file into your privacy browser? Sometimes I really don't get these people. Feels like my neighbour who's antivax mostly because she ended up in that part of cyberspace where pharmacology can only do wrong. People overrate their own DIY alternatives.

What are you talking about? The ghacks link is laying out some env vars and config values one can change. Librewolf is a set of FF patches (which you can build yourself if you’d actually been corncerned about that vector)

  Those steps are right there in the post you link?

    You can use google, so you don't depend that every link has all the information you need.

      The post I replied to, which has disappeared in the meantime. The ghacks link.

  The original link (https://www.ghacks.net/2018/11/26/can-you-use-the-tor-browser-without-tor-connection/#comment-4509260 https://www.ghacks.net/2018/11/26/can-you-use-the-tor-browse...) is to a comment in the Ghacks article's comment section made by "Tor11.0 NetworkDisabled". The "Beginner" instructions in the comment do tell us to download a .zip file from Dropbox or ufile.io and unzip it into the Tor Browser folder, which is a little sketchy. The "Advanced" instructions are okay.
