Is there a web client that is fully usable with TOR?

Iris dosn't let me follow.

Snort dosn't load anything.

Coracle loads the feed and let me follow but only after searching for a user, follow/post/dm buttons are missing and the messages area is disabled.

Tested on macOS both with TOR browser and Firefox + TOR.

Alternatives or tricks?

Nostr clients communicate with relays over WebSockets. My guess is that ToR does not handle WebSockets well or at all.

In addition, The Onion Browser disables JavaScript by default, IIRC. So even if the low-level WebSocket connection could be made over ToR, the app functionality may be inaccessible.

My bad, Iris + Tor browser work! It has only a problem with the feedback of the follow button that reverts immediately, but the action is actually executed, this fooled me. Posting and dms are ok too.

Ok sorry, I seriously need to sleep, I miss the button changing from "follow" to "followING"!

I expected a color change, might help :)

Did you log in to Coracle? That could explain the grayed out/missing buttons. Otherwise, Coracle seems to be working ok on Tor for me.

I created a fresh new key.

As you can see after that the right button still shows the login:
