Best way to install/use Tor with Trisquel?
Hi, I'm just wondering what is the best way to install/use Tor with Trisquel? I'm using Trisquel 7; however, the Tor Browser doesn't seem to be listed in the Trisquel repository. Does that mean it's not technically libre?
If not, is it possible to use Tor with a different browser, e.g. Icecat?
There is only one good way to use tor in any distribution.
Download it directly from the website and use it like it comes by default. Do not install extensions or move any configuration.

If you mean normal web browsing you should use the Tor Browser (https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en).

Tor browser is free software (https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#DistributingTor).

Yes, it's possible but you shouldn't. Tor browser is a modified version of firefox with security+privacy patches to ensure anonimity.
Ok, thanks for the advice. I'll download it and give it a try :)
