I am present at altcoinstalks to learn cryptocurrency and maintain my privacy including by accessing the altcoinstalks website on Tor Browser. But there is one weakness that I do not know in the User Interface of the altcoinstalks website on Tor Browser and the display is not full face, I have checked it in the Tor Browser settings but I did not find the solution.
Currently Tor Browser can still be used but this makes me uncomfortable when accessing the altcoinstalks website, can anyone provide tricks and suggestions for this problem?

The browser is in 90% only based on your screenshot, have you tried to make it 100% or reset it to 100% as default? I only think this is due to the browser's issue and not forum-related. I tried TOR in Brave browser and it looks normal.
-
It seems that this is the first time you are using Tor. Tor Browser enhances your privacy and you must be careful of the links you click, otherwise using tor browser alone will not help you to enhance your privacy.
The default mode screen size is smaller than 100%, but you can change it from about:config
https://forum.torproject.org/t/is-it-possible-to-force-tor-browser-not-to-reset-zoom-level-on-page-update-during-the-session/6427
If you use Tor, pages may open slowly.
-
The same thing happened to me in one of the last updates, but in the next one the problem solved itself. Is 90% what PX-Z says or is it the font size? It doesn't appear in my Tor browser. Although now that I think about it it may be due to the version of the browser being used. The version I use, updated two days ago, is the version 13.5.2.
If you don't have any updates available, don't worry, it will most likely fix itself like it did for me.
-
Doesn't look like you have a problem with TOR browser logging in the forum based on your screenshot. You still are able to post too. Most probably the page hasn't completely read by the browser.
The ones been discussed before was the signatures do not appear as it should when viewing the forum with TOR.

Did you press Ctrl + + button to see if your browser screen zoom out? your screenshot meens your browser page are opened in 80-90% in zoom.
I think it's not a problem with the forum it might be your browser problem.
I have used the forum through Tor Browser on my smartphone without facing any problem but I have no experience using it on my pc.
-
For privacy reasons it's recommended to leave Tor as it is. Some websites do browser fingerprint tracking to track you even if you don't accept cookies and use other privacy tools. One of the variables on fingerprint tracking is the size of your browser, which is why Tor looks like this by default.

I don't think it is also problem with the browser screen zoom out or Zoom in. I am also using currently tor browser for accessing this forum and it is also running smoothly And What I am seeing that he is using the tor on secondary monitor if I am not wrong, he can turn the power of that monitor and on again may see some solution.
And even the issue op is face then I will say to him use the latest version of tor browser for avoiding the bugs.

I have used the Tor browser but I never get frustrated byit as I always ignored it and never tried to solve the problem. This border grey color is known as letterboxing (http://letterboxing) Once you will open the configuration settings and then go to the general there you will see the letterboxing details but you won't be able to disable it directly. You will need this thread (How can I disable the grey border? (https://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/20691/how-can-i-disable-the-grey-border)) You will find a way to disable the grey border or I should say letterboxing.
Why do they have it, to avoid unnecessary touches and ideas copied from Firefox? You can get more details about it when you will click on learn more.

This issue can be resolved by resetting the browser settings or using the latest version of the browser. This is not a big problem as it is not a forum bug and can be solved personally.
I don't have much experience with this as I haven't used Tor Browser on my computer. I'm going to try using the Tor Browser forum on my computer today. If I face any problem and can solve it then I will tell the way to solve it.

This is the only accurate answer in this thread. In addition, what OP see is called "Betterboxing" which introduced on Tor Browser 13.5. Those who're curious about it should visit https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-135/ (https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-135/) and read section "Introducing Betterboxing".

I have also said the same thing on my post. And mean that this is not really that kind of bug which can't be resolved. And Obviously this is not the forum related bug that is why I called for the updated version of Tor browser. Just to know that I have seen in the above post that is called the "Betterboxing". Hope OP can fix his issue right now by updating the tor browser to 13.5.2 ::)
-
I suggest you to leave it the way it is if you want to maintain privacy but if you want full UI that's 100% then you should tweak your Tor settings.
Tor is basically similar to Firefox as far as I noticed and changing it's display size won't be hard for you.
I suggest you to try holding ctrl and then scroll your mouse. That way you might be able to zoom to full view.

I only think this is due to the browser's issue and not forum-related. I tried TOR in Brave browser and it looks normal.
I have used 100% but the browser box is still in the middle, this is not a big problem but to open the altcoinstalks website it is not comfortable because the user interface position is not full.
It seems that this is the first time you are using Tor. Tor Browser enhances your privacy and you must be careful of the links you click, otherwise using tor browser alone will not help you to enhance your privacy.
Yeps, that's right because this is my first time using TOR Browser. This browser is not like Chrome, Mozilla or Opera because it doesn't look full face when accessing the altcoinstalks website.
I only use this Tor Browser when accessing the altcoinstalks forum, sir.

This is something I don't quite understand, I've read it but I can't find the "Settings" for Full Face of Tor Browser, can you explain it to me?

Version 13.5.2 (64-bit)
My version of Tor Browser is also the same and it seems that until now I have not found the right answer to solve the problem of accessing the altcoinstalks website in Tor Browser which is visible in the middle and not full face.
Doesn't look like you have a problem with TOR browser logging in the forum based on your screenshot. You still are able to post too. Most probably the page hasn't completely read by the browser.

Yep, I don't have any problem accessing www.altcoinstalks.com, but I feel uncomfortable when using Tor Browser because the display is in the middle and cut off by a border that is too large because I think it's not nice to look at by me.

Thank you sir for your advice, I also use the default mode and it's just uncomfortable to look at.
But if it's the best that can access the altcoinstalks forum, then I'll get used to it so that I get used to the Tor Browser position by Default.
Btw, what is the function of this website https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/?
It seems like I just saw this website because I've never heard of it or read it before. Does this have anything to do with the altcoinstalks website?

Dammmnnn, this is quite scary and I was not aware of this. Of course the Tor developers want their users to be private but I want to change it by opening privacy.
This is too dangerous for me and I better leave it as default. Good advice and information sir, I appreciate it and this is a new knowledge that is very useful for me.

Thanks sir for the follow up because now I have also read all the information from the replies to all threads from various members.
And it turns out that the default version is better so that it is safer and more private than me changing it with my arrogance which could result in a fatal error one day.

Did that option activate itself because the OP downloaded the Tor version for the first time or maybe he activated it himself in the settings? I'm using the latest desktop version and haven't noticed any changes in that regard - and in any case, I wouldn't be happy if my browser looked like that either.
@kai, regarding the page mentioned by @TryNinja it serves to check how good the browser you are using is when it comes to tracking your online activities by the websites you visit. Try to test your browser on that page and you will get the results very quickly ;)

"Betterboxing" is enabled by default, assuming you use Tor Browser 13.5 or newer. There's no way to disable it from "Settings", but i don't know whether it's possible to disable it from "about:config". But you only see that IF you resize your Tor Browser.

Letterboxing is also for our protection. As it restricts to display at specific sizes and so those who wants to take all our information will have a hard time figuring out even our window screen sizes.
-
This is a security setting inside Tor browser so do not try to change it.
It is an anti-fingerprinting measure that makes the screen size look the same for all users, so that fingerprinters cannot tell the difference between someone who is using a mobile or a tablet or a PC, and which model.
Sure, it is slightly inconvenient at first, but it is good privacy technology.
-
Thanks sir, but I'd rather just use the default version of Tor, to keep myself safe.
Good choice! I even suggest you to go with the default settings of the Tor to be safe and have enhanced privacy. I believe those who play with Tor's settings often compromise some privacy related features of it. I respect your decision, it's a good one. Keep it up!

So, what do you think? is it safe for my web browser when accessing altcoinstalks website?
Let's say that your privacy is much better protected than if you were to use a "normal" browser, even if you were to use it in combination with a VPN.
As for the test, the third result in your case says "Your browser has a non-unique fingerprint", which means that you probably changed the size of the window and that's how you stand out from other Tor users - although I'm not an expert in such things, so maybe I'm wrong. I assume that you can get a perfect result by returning the browser to its default settings.
-
Letterboxing is also for our protection. As it restricts to display at specific sizes and so those who wants to take all our information will have a hard time figuring out even our window screen sizes.
I don't have any idea of how letterboxing will restrict those who want to take all information and how will they face a hard time getting our data. As screen size doesn't have anything to do with data scrapers. Let's say I have a site and you visit it, and I take some data from it (from you) I can still take data if your browser has side boundaries which they have enabled to avoid accidental touches.
I would like to know more about this fact, as its totally new to me that screen size matters in keeping our browser data safe.

Oh my God, I wish like those of you on the forum it was safer and how do I look for "Default Settings"?

I mean, look at the screenshot above, I've searched for the word "Default" but I haven't found the "Default Settings" button.
This is my weakness for reading but I don't know where the "Default Settings" button for Tor Browser is located.
-
@kai, in fact, you cannot literally restore the browser to its default settings, and the only option that exists in this sense is under the Home tab and refers to the windows and tabs that are displayed on the home screen.
If you want to return everything to its original state, then the only option is reinstallation. Someone explained it nicely on the following link.
Alternatively, you can restore all Tor Browser default-standard settings by (1) downloading the Tor Browser installer package, (2) verifying the signature of the installer package, (3) uninstalling your Tor Browser folder/directory per the uninstall instructions, and (4) running the installer package to replace the Tor Browser app on your system.

Hmmmm, your answer is very useful and I appreciate it, this is new knowledge for me.
I will only answer simply from your answer is "immediately reinstall" so that it is fresh, safe and comfortable.
Thank Lucius, this is very helpful for me because this is a problem that I have not found in using the Tor browser.
-
@kai, If you are interested in more about Tor, you can always read something on their official website, and maybe ask for support through the official channels. Of course, that doesn't mean you can't ask here, I think it's important to raise people's awareness (especially in the crypto world) to pay more attention to their privacy and security.
-
Op if you're really concerned about your privacy you need to understand that using Tor browser is safe however it doesn't fully guarantee your anonymity and privacy. To fully put you anonymity into play you have to make sure you are also making use of a VPN like Onion to mask your IP address. you can also read about few other things online that can help protect your privacy.
Anyways as for your viewpoint problem I really haven't accessed the forum using my PC. However from my speculation the html and CSS of the forum uses an automatic viewpoint adjustment that should fit perfectly to almost any screen. You should consider reinstalling your browser or resetting your settings to default.

No offense, you obviously don't know what you're talking about - Tor is a browser that has complex protocols that allow the user to protect his privacy by routing his internet traffic through multiple servers, which gives him much more privacy than using any VPN.
So VPN is an abbreviation of virtual private network, while onion is "a special-use top-level domain name" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.onion).

Well Lucius it seems like you don't understand the point I was trying to make you entirely misquoted me thinking I meant that making use of Tor browser doesn't secure your anonymity at all. My point is simple to fully put your anonymity and privacy into consideration you should make use of a VPN in addition to making use of the Tor browser.
Or are trying to tell me that user one who makes use of Tor without a VPN on his computer is safer than user two that makes use of a VPN on his computer in addition to the Tor browser?
Making use of a secure VPN is very important when it comes to privacy and anonymity and It's still as visible to use it even if you make use of a private browser like Tor
-
@Mia Chloe, the way you expressed it definitely suggests something else and that's how I understood it - but if you mean using VPN + Tor then it makes sense because it adds another level of protection so that your ISP doesn't see that you're using Tor, and at the same time, you can make it difficult for someone to get to your real IP address, even if he manages to "break" all the protection provided by Tor.
However, such a way of using the internet would very likely slow down surfing even more, given that for many people surfing with Tor is undesirable anyway due to the "speed" of surfing.

I agree with the later, been using Tor to accessed this site, and there are times that it is completely slow and when the moment I left my laptop and then come back, it will be very slow to the point that I will have to exit Tor again and then try to re-login.
As far as combining it to VPN? doesn't make sense at all, it has it's downsized and obviously it's the speed. I think for me, Tor is enough for privacy. I'm no expert as well, and it might be hard to set up VPN + Tor, and if you configure it incorrectly, there could be some leakage and your ISP might see it.

What would be complicated there? You start the VPN and establish a connection, and after that you start Tor and you have done everything necessary to have a combination of VPN + Tor. Maybe some things seem complicated and people are afraid to try them, but a lot of things are actually much simpler than they seem - you won't even know until you try ;)

Mia laughs. I wonder what could be so hard in downloading the genuine version of onion VPN, installing it in your computer or device and then proceeding to connect to the VPN. Obviously what would be left is to just download Tor and then make use of it for your browsing. I wonder why Kemarit considered it a technical stuff.
Anyways,as for the slow internet caused by the combination of tor browser and the onion VPN, it's normal and I have experienced it too. However I noticed that you can still improve the connection speed to a little extent with a stronger internet connection. I don't know if you've noticed it with the tor onion combo Lucius?

Fast internet will not improve your surfing speed if your traffic goes through VPN or Tor (or both at the same time), because you still depend on what happens inside the servers through which your internet traffic passes. It's strange that you still mention Tor and onion as two separate things and that you use the term "onion VPN" - I already wrote to you that the two are completely different and separate, there is no (as far as I know) VPN that uses onion in any sense.
