UPDATE: Thanks to another very helpful Fediverse user my question has been answered. This is why it's so nice here--people helping one another.
Tor Browser question:
Does anyone know how to get rid of the borders? While on fediverse I can only see 3 columns at a time and have to scroll sideways to view a fourth.
@SnowshadowII about:config -> privacy.resistFingerprinting.letterboxing=false but at that point just use Tor with a normal browser instead of the TBB
@soop thanks, but I need you to talk to me like I am five years old... I am sorry. I understand the reference to letterboxing and that it prevents finger printing but beyond that <throws hands in air>
Note: you are talking to an old-timer.
@SnowshadowII type about:config in your browser's address bar, click through the warning, search for "letterboxing", and toggle that option to false
do remember that it's going to complain at you about it afterwards because it's terrible practice to disable things like that in the tor browser
@soop
ok now that I understand. Thank you for taking the time to explain it to me. I **really** appreciate it.
(I am slowing learning...trying to learn. thanks for your patience)
They must have made a few changes with Tor because a few years ago it was incredibly s l o w....
@SnowshadowII it is quite fast now
@soop No kidding! I am very pleasantly surprised. It's faster even though I moved and now have painfully slow internet.
