I got it from your link APX. 

But anyway, I just found the hidden files...I don't know why they did not show up in my hard drive "Spotlight" search...since "TOR" was clearly part of the name of the folder.

This is where I found the data on my Mac:
Finder > Library > Application Support > TorBrowser Data

I scrubbed the "TorBrowser Data" folder along with the .app & .dmg, then reinstalled another fresh copy...now all is good.

SonofLiberty:
Great information. How do you connect to different servers as if you were surfing from there? For example, I use speed test to test my upload and download speeds to different servers, like servers in Oslo for example. But how do I redirect my traffic so it looks like I am actually surfing from there?

JohnyMac:
SonsofLiberty,

Tor is a great one to use for this.

If you use Brave as your web browser rather than google, outlook, yahoo, FireFox, etc. it comes with Tor.

OR,

You can pay for a site that offers VPN for $$$$. This typically costs you around $4- a month.

Hope that helps.

Does Brave charge for its usage?  Or is it free like Firefox?

Does it get blocked on USA Today like happens when you use AdBlocker?

Will AdBlocker still be helpful and generally necessary?
