[tor-talk] Tor Browser and my location

[Kit Carson McGuire]

I played with it a tad and see that 
(https://www.google.com/?noj=0&gws_rd=ssl&ncr) does work although at the 
bottom right of the page it gives the option to use https://www.google.de 
instead. Minor annoyance. IF it eventually works like Firefox it should be 
nice! I'm just an end user and not a programmer/tech. Still wondering the 
advantage of Tor over Firefox. Also wondering what if someone never 
installed Firefox before. Will Tor still work or function?
