[Anonymous] GreggI'm a fan of Opera products, but this version runs quite slow. Is that the penalty for running in stealth mode? The text loads and then there is a delay on graphics. It can't compete with IE6 or FireFox Portable. [2008-01-26 09:11]

[Anonymous] milanI would guess the speed penalty is there because of the router and proxy application. [2008-01-29 04:08]

[Anonymous] ThomasIt's slow due to stealth mode alright. There's a price to pay for privacy... Yet, it is significantly faster than a similar portable version of Firefox bundled with Tor (don't rememeber what it's called right now, but it's probably here, too). I have no idea why that is - could or could not be due to less than perfect anonymity. On the other hand, Opera is faster than FF anyway, might as well be that. [2008-04-24 04:31]

[Anonymous] ThomasUpdate: The Firefox bundle is called xbBrowser, http://portablefreeware.com/?id=582 [2008-04-24 04:33]

[Anonymous] MichaelThe reason why it is sooo sloooowwww is explained very good here: http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=videos/tor-1 [2008-07-02 10:56]

[Anonymous] RJust a friendly side-note, but, instead of Privoxy, it began to use Polipo. This seems to be a trend since Tor official site also has "Tor Browser" bundled with Tor, Torbutton, Polipo, and Firefox Portable. Tor Browser might be a good addition to the portable freeware list of this site. [2008-08-10 05:20]

[Anonymous] neorekcahquestion: does OperaTor can hide my internet activity in our office internet/lan? Our office use windows server 2003 to monitor our internet activity? [2009-01-23 09:25]

[Anonymous] sosoKinda slow, and it doesn't has flash. [2009-04-08 11:09]

[Anonymous] kamalaSpeed comes from the Tor network. Before complaining products using Tor as slow, educate yourself about the Tor. [2009-05-03 03:21]

For more general topics (eg. whether apps that write to the registry, leave traces on the host machine, rely on certain versions of IE etc. can be considered portable), please post to the Portable Freeware Discussion forum. If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
