	Sending your connections to websites through the Tor network is not enough to totally protect you while browsing the web:
	Cookies can be used to track and identify you across different websites.
	Security vulnerabilities in JavaScript have been used to [deanonymize Tor Browser in the past](https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/08/attackers-wield-firefox-exploit-to-uncloak-anonymous-tor-users/).
	This is why Tor Browser integrates all kinds of security protections inside the browser as well.
	Some frequently asked questions about Tor Browser can be found in [[the FAQ\|support/faq#browser]].
	<h1 id="proxy">The proxy server is refusing connections</h1>
	The following error message in Tor Browser means that Tails is not yet connected to the Tor network:
	The proxy server is refusing connections
	Make sure that you are:
	[[Connected to a local network\|anonymous_internet/networkmanager]]
	[[Connected to the Tor network\|anonymous_internet/tor]]
	<h1 id="confinement">Security confinement</h1>
	Tor Browser is only allowed to save the downloads and read the files that you specify in the file chooser of GNOME.
	For example, thanks to this confinement, even if an attacker manages to exploit a security vulnerability in Tor Browser, they wouldn't be able to access all the content of your Persistent Storage.
