Most people don't know about the Tor browser and instead of advising them to install it (or use some tor2web proxy) you could just hand them the onion link. Many people know about Firefox, even if they use Chrome or Safari, so it would be easier for them to install it if needed. It's about providing them with easy access to onion sites.

This does not make sense to me. If I visit Tor’s main website, “browser” is one of the first things I see. Furthermore, you are misunderstanding Tor’s purpose, which is anonymity, and if you’re curious I’d encourage reading the content in their FAQs to understand more about how it works. https://www.torproject.org/ https://www.torproject.org/
- thruuavay 4y agoIt's more likely that you are misunderstanding my intention. Tor can be used to provide anonymity for the visitor, yeah, but also for the host (using onion services); by allowing Firefox to browse such sites, anonymity for the host is preserved, and the reach is increased. Visitors that want anonymity can use the Tor browser and other OPSEC measures.
