You need to run a batch file that launches a Tor connection in cmd, then go back to Chrome... It's essentially just the Onion browser with extra steps. What's the point?

When you click on the run.sh file on MacOS it does not start, but only calls a text editor. Besides there is no win folder in mac.zip archive as indicated in your FAQ 2.

Doesn't work, because the tor.project page is blocked by my provider, what's the point?

Given the obstacle known as Cloudflare (that will appear often with the use of this,) one really is better off using the current version of Tor (which has a better chance of getting by it;) With that said... If one should opt to use this, then use it in combination with AdvOR, instead of the limited and sometimes troublesome, recommended patch. Just download AdvOR; run it, and then launch Brave (with this addon already applied). The features and benefit to using AdvOR far outweigh the patch. Just try it and see for yourself. Note: I've no connection to the aforementioned, and am only sharing the knowledge in the hopes that users might choose to apply the "become a server" feature and provide more nodes than currently exist.
