You're browsing normally with TOR Browser and minding your own business.Ī program you didn't authorize or know about has maliciously been installed on your machine. I didn't authorize this program to do anything like this, but, it's listening to all the processes on my machine and checking if it includes the strings 'TOR' or 'TOR Browser' and automatically logs the main window title of that process. But, let's say a process on my computer is running in the background. TOR Browser will now set the main window title of the process to: Let's say I visit a web-site for programming called 'Learn Programming'. Kind of like most browsers you use will display the page you're on as the process title.Īn example: Let's say I launched TOR Browser, connected successfully, and I am ready to browse.

What I'm talking about is how when you visit a web-site, connect to a new relay, etc., it automatically changes the browser process main window title to what it is doing or what you're looking at. But, the down-side I do not like about the browser on Windows is the fact it performs like most browsers. TOR Browser on Windows is just TOR Browser. This test was performed on Windows 10 with the 11.0.9 TOR Browser version. I understand that you probably should NOT be using TOR Browser on the Windows operating-system if you're this worried, but, it's bothering me that I can't find an answer to this question.
