No problem with an onion browser, but for some reason my keyboard won’t come up. Damn Apple. How can this forum get but without my tl;dr posts?

Was gonna say it’s up again, but nope...

Tor is surprisingly easy to use. The hardest part for me was figuring out how to obtain the .onion URL with the clearnet site being down.

That's why we should have a list of bunker URLs for when the site is down, so you can paste it into a text file for use in emergencies.

I had no problem with tor but my onion browser wouldnt pop up my keyboard, so I couldn’t post using Apple products. Not that there was anything to say. Maybe flash based?

Thanks for the bunker URLs, will save just in case.

Oops, it posted above while I thought it was down.

Yep, seems to be stable for now.

Also, can someone security minded clarify how much of a risk maximising a tor window is please. Is it a "theoretically this could happen" risk or "just don't do it" risk?

I thought it was kind of odd too so I asked @Marvin about that earlier and he said it might be due to monitor size being usable to confirm whether you were using a phone, tablet, or desktop in court situation. Probably only matters if you are using tor to commit grimes though. Not sure lolcow watching qualifies really

Just do what it says and don't resize it. You can resize the browser on a safe page without any tabs open to anything that you don't trust or w/e and then they can't track you though. I recommend parking it in full screen and then not touching it. Our ancestors used computers that way and you can too.

Also, I'll take a minute to shill for Brave here. It's basically Firefox without the plugins (yet), but it has an option to open private tabs in Tor mode. You can just right click > open in incognito with Tor and start browsing Tor right away. The site being down only interrupted me for a few seconds.
