C A L (ID: 00000091ae81350f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/30/2023 Yes, it does work, but you need to read the FAQ after installing the browser extension. In a nutshell, you need to install a little program, downloadable on GitHub, and run it (it will open in the terminal). It acts as a proxy server in the background. Then you need to open your browser extension options, and to get it connected to the local TOR proxy (click the purple bunch of grapes logo). Then go to your favorite .onion web sites, from your favorite web browser, and the websites will show up just like they would in TOR.
