I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble with the Tor Browser Bundle.

Why this big difference in general speed between Canary/Tor button and Tor browser? And more generally, is Tor browser unstable? I use Firefox occasionally and it never shows the instability I experience with Tor browser. My copy of Tor browser also frequently use a lot of CPU and the only way to fix this is to kill the daughter process. It is currently in this state and the only (?) thing that works are the menus - they work as expected but when you select a commando there, nothing happens. You just can't open a new window or tab, clicking links or other common tasks. I don't 'push' Canary nor Tor browser by having tens of windows and hundreds of tabs open, instead I use one window in either browser, always with less than 5 tabs.įurthermore, Tor browser regularly hangs. However, Tor browser is significantly slower.

Obviously regular Chrome is the fastest but Canary/Tor button is just slightly slower (like you would be using an average mobile broadband connection rather than 100 Mbit fiber). I use regular Chrome, Chrome Canary with Tor button (connected to tor from MacPorts) and Tor browser on the same computer.
