Add a way to disable Tor via admin policy #454
Comments
I had to have my team uninstall this browser from our company's computers because of TOR. |
Thanks for letting us know @billrob. Note that it won't run without opt-in, but I know we need a way to completely disable it from even being installed, this will cover it. |
@bbondy Security folks are at it again at my employer. Since it has the option to private browse with TOR, they won't have any of it. Boo. |
I have this issue too, our School doesn't allow the use of VPN, proxys or Tor on our computers. Since it is opt in we can still use the browser if we want, but the use of Tor would be conflicting with their policy. Being able to completely remove it would be a great thing! |

You’re losing users because your team is failing to provide an option to disable Tor. Tor is a serious security concern. |
