 <ol>
 
 <li><b>Use the Tor Browser</b>
-
-<p>
-
-Tor does not protect all of your computer's Internet traffic when you
-run it. Tor only protects your applications that are properly configured to
-send their Internet traffic through Tor. To avoid problems with Tor
-configuration, we strongly recommend you use the
-<a href="<page projects/torbrowser>">Tor Browser Bundle</a>. It is pre-configured to protect
-your privacy and anonymity on the web as long as you're browsing with the Tor
-Browser itself. Almost any other web browser configuration is likely to be
-unsafe to use with Tor.

 <li><b>Don't enable or install browser plugins</b>
-
-<p>
-
-The Tor Browser will block browser plugins such as Flash, RealPlayer,
-Quicktime, and others: they can be manipulated into revealing your IP address.
-Similarly, we do not recommend installing additional addons or plugins into
-the Tor Browser, as these may bypass Tor or otherwise harm your anonymity and
-privacy. The lack of plugins means that Youtube videos are blocked by default,
-but Youtube does provide an experimental opt-in feature
-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/html5">(enable it here)</a> that works for some
-videos.

 <li><b>Use HTTPS versions of websites</b>
-
-<p>
-
-Tor will encrypt your traffic
-<a href="https://www.torproject.org/about/overview.html.en#thesolution">to and
-within the Tor network</a>, but the encryption of your traffic to the final
-destination website depends upon on that website. To help ensure private
-encryption to websites, the Tor Browser Bundle includes <a
-href="https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere">HTTPS Everywhere</a> to force the
-use of HTTPS encryption with major websites that support it. However, you
-should still watch the browser URL bar to ensure that websites you provide
-sensitive information to display a
-<a href="https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Site%20Identity%20Button">blue or
-green URL bar button</a>, include <b>https://</b> in the URL, and display the
-proper expected name for the website.

 </li>
 
 <li><b>Don't open documents downloaded through Tor while online</b>
-
-<p>
-
-The Tor Browser will warn you before automatically opening documents that are
-handled by external applications. <b>DO NOT IGNORE THIS WARNING</b>.  You
-should be very careful when downloading documents via Tor (especially DOC and
-PDF files) as these documents can contain Internet resources that will be
-downloaded outside of Tor by the application that opens them. This will reveal
-your non-Tor IP address. If you must work with DOC and/or PDF files, we
-strongly recommend either using a disconnected computer,
-downloading the free <a href="https://www.virtualbox.org/">VirtualBox</a> and
-using it with a <a href="http://virtualboxes.org/">virtual machine image</a>
-with networking disabled, or using <a href="http://tails.boum.org/">Tails</a>.
-Under no circumstances is it safe to use
-<a href="https://blog.torproject.org/blog/bittorrent-over-tor-isnt-good-idea">BitTorrent
-and Tor</a> together, however.

 <li><b>Use bridges and/or find company</b>

-
-Tor tries to prevent attackers from learning what destination websites you
-connect to. However, by default, it does not prevent somebody watching your Internet
-traffic from learning that you're using Tor. If this matters to you, you can
-reduce this risk by configuring Tor to use a <a href="<page docs/bridges>">Tor
-bridge relay</a> rather than connecting directly to the public Tor network.
-Ultimately the best protection is a social approach: the more Tor
-users there are near you and the more 
-<a href="<page about/torusers>">diverse</a> their interests, the less 
-dangerous it will be that you are one of them. Convince other people to use
-Tor, too!
