You can safely use other browsers, while, after or before using Tor. Q: Is it safe to use regular browsers like Chrome or Firefox after using Tor?Ī: Yes. I've been using TOR for several years now and I've yet to see a single piece of CP so my only conclusion is that you probably need to reevaluate your browsing habits if you accidentally stumbled upon it. Am just lucky not to have been spotted by authorities?īefore I get into the meat of the answers, let me just advise you to stay away from the sketchy side of the web if you are not very knowledgeable about security.

So is this a sign I compromised myself somehow leaking my IP address? The recommendations were from only what I did on Tor. *note I never used google,fb, gov sites or anything like that. Is it safe to stop the Tor browser and network, and start using something like internet explorer or google chrome after? Like If I accidentally saw cp and deleted Tor and then started using my normal internet and browsers am I at risk for being caught or getting in trouble etc.? If me and my brother use a laptop each (as in 2 total) and I have Tor and am buying drugs, and he is not and is watching youtube or searching google, am I at risk? LASTLY something particularly worrying happened, after browsing with Tor for a day, I stopped, deleted it, and went back to google chrome and my un hidden use of internet, I went to youtube and noticed all the recommended videos and channels, they were specifically from genres or themes of the sites I had visited, like completely japanese channels and videos, about guns, and various things I had searched about while using Tor.
