# Tor2Text
View .onion or regular webpages in your normal browser without revealing your real IP or browser data. No browser configuration required. Compatible with all browsers.
[](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNmHtUO6tF4)
### Why?
- Use Tor on any browser with zero configuration.
- Avoid using Tor Browser, especially on Android, where changing the user-agent is not possible.
- Access .onion domains or any other sites with zero security risk.
- Avoid browser fingerprinting using methods like audio beacons, font rendering, cache poisoning, etc.
- This software is open-source and runs only on your device. It does not use any external servers. You can review the code.
### Usage
#### For Everyone
Simply append the URL after the proxy address:
```http
http://127.0.0.1:8525/url/https://example.com
```
You can use your regular browser, curl, wget, etc.
#### For Experts
There is also an `/insecure/` endpoint. This endpoint allows remote pages to track you in exchange for loading more content than using the `/url/` endpoint.
### Installation
1. Install Git.
2. Clone the repository using `git clone`.
3. Navigate to the Tor2Text folder.
4. Install Lynx.
5. Install Tor.
6. Start Tor.

#### Node
1. Complete the six installation steps above.
2. Install Node.js.
3. Install npm.
4. Navigate to the `node_version` folder.
5. Run `npm install`.
6. Start the application with `node index.js`.
7. Access the URL in your browser. For example:
