Just found out that by using this extension for Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/anbfhidldjknonaihbalghlebaijealk I can now see the prices in btc, € and $ simultaneously. Just a small thing I though you guys'd appreciate.

Seems interesting. Too bad I only use firefox with tor button for my tor stuff :P

For those using a virtual machine which detaches the browser from the Tor proxy, this could be useful.

Just a reminder for everyone to always be careful about URLs.

Like Kind Bud said Clearnet* URLS do not belong in Tor Browsers
*(all non .onion sites)
:D

I'm probably being ignorant here and going offtopic, but why not? With tracking services I see the danger of visiting them via tor, what reason is there to generelly steer away from clearnet while using tor? I'm really at loss here. A short explanation or a link to a FAQ would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Oh, this just came to my mind: there's a firefox addon called foxyproxy with which you could govern that it only utilizes your local proxy (meaning for) for .onion URLs. Would that be a nice way eliminate the manual switching?

Short answer: few if any, aside from shipping and banking sites. [1]
Unless you think the entire Tor project is basically just *bullshit*. In which case why are you using it for .onion sites?

Thanks for that one, sir. It's always good to learn something new.
