How to read this handbook
If you have never opened Tor Browser before, start with Chapter I. If you have accessed the market before but never verified a signed rotation, jump to Chapter II. If you have done both and want to close the loop on operational security, read Chapter III.
The mirror list and glossary are reference material. Bookmark them. The history is context, not required reading, but it explains why the current mirror architecture looks the way it does.
Editorial note
The handbook is not affiliated with the TorZon operators. It documents the storefront from a reader perspective and stays away from advocacy. When a chapter says "do this", it means "readers who did this before did not lose their account". When it says "do not do this", the failure mode is real.
