On my phone i had to download an onion vpn thing but for some reason thats not required on my new computer? Is there anything else i should download? i’m not buying anything illegal at the moment, just browsing. I’m a newbie to browsing kinda. i already know where plenty of tor search engines are. Any answers help, thank you

Jesus christ dude. Stop. Do some research and figure out how use tor. I’d recommend using tails
