How to Configure your Web Browser to use TOR

Posted on December 25, 2012 in Hacking

Normally when we start Tor Browser, it opens a new window in Mozilla Firefox and you will be anonymous to sites, you open in that window. But sometimes we want that a particular browser whether it is Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome to be permanently attached with Tor Browser. So that surfing in that browser will help us be anonymous to Cyber World.

So I am Explaining How to Attach/Bind Tor Browser to Some Famous Browsers. But Before Following below given steps, mind that your Tor Browser should be running.
