   for windows 7/8 users the current tor browser (13.5.4/ffox115.15.0esr)   
   is probably the last supported version though may continue to be safer   
   to use compared with other browsers using tor proxy (e.g. omnimix tor);   
      
   omnimix is very well maintained, including its built-in customized tor   
   feature, and it works great on common windows versions (from xp to 11);   
   omnimix' tor also works as a proxy with most popular web browsers, e.g.   
      
   Firefox Browser v130.0.1 (64-bit, Windows 10/11):   
     Tools > Settings > General > Network Settings >   
     Settings... > Manual proxy configuration:   
     SOCKS Host: 127.0.0.1   
     Port: 9150   
     SOCKS v5   
     Proxy DNS when using SOCKS v5   
      
   Pale Moon v33.2.1 (64-bit, Windows 7/8):   
     Preferences > Advanced > Network > Connection >   
     Settings > Manual proxy configuration:   
     SOCKS Host: 127.0.0.1   
     Port: 9054   
     SOCKS v5   
     Use proxy to perform DNS queries (SOCKS v5 only)
