Therefore it is used like any other 74 webbrowser in its basic funtions. 75 </p> 76 77 <p> 78 One should ONLY use the TOR-Browser installation provided by the official TOR-Project's 79 sources! Not from a friend, not from your Linux distribution's package 80 repositories, ONLY from <a class="text-link" href="https://www.torproject.org/download/">Tor-Project's Source</a>! 81 </p> 82 83 <p> 84 Even then, one should verify the GPG-Signature, to prevent 85 using a compromised executable. <a class="text-link" href="https://support.torproject.org/tbb/how-to-verify-signature/">How to verify the signature?</a> 86 </p> 87 88 <p> 89 Done the right way, it will update either automatically, or let you know an 90 update is necessary.
