Once such functionality exists in a piece of software, you’ve done half the hacker’s work for them – all they have to do is exploit the browser to hijack the function outside of the user’s control and exfiltrate data or whatever. Websites that hook into OS functionality because they want to act like mini window managers, clipboards, and other functions of OSs and such themselves, these are an arrogant pain in the ass! Stinking of being designed for crappy mobile devices that do not have proper copy and paste or storage, manipulation facilities themselves, so need it to be implemented server-side. It is certainly possible to modify Tor Browser further, or modify Firefox to improve privacy of the browser instead.Ī lack of interception of OS-based keypresses could be considered a privacy and security PLUS not a minus, mate. after applying changes from the Ghacks user.js file for Firefox and installing the add-ons that Tor browser comes with by default ( HTTPS Everywhere and NoScript). It works similarly to a heavily modified version of Firefox in that regard, e.g. Tor Browser loads as quickly as any other web browser once you have made the modifications. Switch from Manual Proxy Configuration to No Proxy.Scroll down to the Network section and activate the Settings button.Load about:preferences#general in the browser's address bar.

Locate Tor Launcher and click on the disable button next to it to disable the extension.

Load about:addons in the Tor Browser address bar.

Use the search on the page to display _tor.

Double-click on the preference to set it to false.

Load about:config in the browser's address bar.

Attention: I suggest you use a portable copy of the browser to make these modifications and keep an original copy on the computer as well you may then use either one of the solutions depending on what you want to do on the Internet.
