< h2 id = "status" > Status:< / h2 >
< p > Linux: Usable, most things work. Windows: Unstable, mostly usable, does not work in some important cirumstances, cannot run from a flash drive OSX: Unstable, untested, not usable, WIP.< / p >
< p > Other systems are not targeted and should use a Tor binary built from source, provided by TPO or, their prefered package management system and not this plugin. The plugin will not start a Tor instance if a SOCKS proxy is open on port 9050.< / p >
