A Guide to Installing and Configuring xB Browser

Written by

in

The term “xB Browser” typically refers to the xB Browser (formerly XeroBank Browser), a specialized, portable web browser focused on high-level anonymity and privacy, often utilizing the Tor network. It is designed to be plug-and-play, requiring minimal installation. Based on its typical functionality, 1. Installation

The xB Browser is designed to be portable, meaning it often does not require a traditional installer.

Download: Obtain the latest version of the xB Browser from a trusted, official source to avoid compromised versions.

Extract: Extract the downloaded file (usually a .zip or .exe file) to a folder on your computer or, preferably, to a USB flash drive for portability.

Launch: Open the extracted folder and run the xB Browser.exe (or similarly named executable) file.

Installation Note: Since it is portable, you can simply delete the folder to “uninstall” it. 2. Initial Configuration & Launch

Upon first launch, the browser will attempt to connect to the anonymity network.

Startup: The browser will likely open a status window showing its progress in connecting to the Tor network.

Automatic Configuration: xB Browser is designed to auto-configure proxy settings (usually setting them to 127.0.0.1:9050 or 9051 for Tor). You generally do not need to manually change proxy settings.

Browser Window: Once connected, a browser window (often a modified Firefox) will open. 3. Key Configuration Settings for Privacy To ensure maximum security, verify these settings:

Proxy Settings: Go to Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Settings. Ensure it is set to “Manual proxy configuration” and points to the Tor proxy.

JavaScript: It is highly recommended to disable JavaScript to prevent de-anonymization attacks. This can be done via the NoScript extension (often included) or in Options -> Content.

Cookies: Set to “Ask me” or block third-party cookies to prevent tracking.

Security Level: If available in the toolbar, set the security slider to “High” or “Safest” to disable performance-enhancing features that can be used for fingerprinting. 4. Usage Tips

Do Not Install Plugins: Adding plugins (Flash, Silverlight) can break anonymity.

Use HTTPS: Ensure you are using https:// for websites to encrypt traffic between the Tor exit node and the site.

Keep it Updated: Always use the latest version of xB Browser to ensure security patches are in place.

Disclaimer: The original xB Browser/XeroBank project is outdated. For current, high-level anonymity, the Tor Browser Bundle is generally recommended.
