Tor browser shows a button in the URL bar when the visiting website has an onion version and if user clicks on the button the website redirects to the onion service. Is there a way to set onion websites default? I mean when the opened website has an onion service without asking the user, tor browser to open the onion site?
I remembered that there was such an option (“prioritize .onion sites when known”) in Tor browser but the feature has since been removed, no idea why, probably some sites didn’t watch their onion counterpart as closely or just let their onion site died (example: Twitter under Musk), and tor browser users are constantly redirected to a onion site that doesn’t work when visiting such sites.
It was removed due to a potential fingerprinting vulnerability, Tor Browser 13.0.12 release note stated:
