Getting started

Before your first visit to a Torzon onion: a short checklist: What to prepare before opening a Torzon onion for the first time: an official Tor Browser, a verified address and a device you trust.
Verifying the Torzon URL shown in these docs: How the Verified label on a Torzon URL is decided here and how you can repeat the comparison yourself in under a minute.
Choosing between the Torzon mirror addresses: The docs list one primary address and several Torzon mirror slots. When each one is appropriate and why you should not rotate between them randomly.

Why Tor Browser adds grey margins around every page: Letterboxing hides your exact screen size. Why resizing Tor Browser makes you easier to recognise on any site, including the Torzon market link.
Why you should not add extensions to Tor Browser: Extra add-ons make Tor Browser unique and can leak data. Why the docs recommend using it exactly as shipped.
New Identity or New Circuit: which to use and when: Tor Browser offers two reset buttons. What each one clears, and which one fits when a Torzon market onion is slow or when you finish a session.
Handling files downloaded from onion services: Documents and images from onion services can contact the internet when opened outside Tor Browser. How to handle them safely.

Turning on full-disk encryption for your device: If your laptop or phone is lost, encryption keeps saved Torzon onion bookmarks and notes unreadable. How to check it is on.
Using an offline password manager for your Torzon login: A local password manager makes long, unique passwords practical and refuses to autofill on a fake Torzon market URL.
Keeping your operating system patched: Tor protects your connection, not a compromised computer. Why system updates matter as much as Tor Browser updates.

Recognising phishing messages about a new Torzon link: Messages that announce a "new" Torzon link are a common phishing method. Patterns that give them away.
Spotting a cloned login page behind a Torzon market link: A cloned login page can look identical to the real one. Checks to make before typing anything after opening a Torzon market link.
Recovering after entering details on a fake Torzon onion: Typed a password into a fake Torzon onion? The recovery steps, in order, to lock the attacker out as fast as possible.
