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.

On Coracle I have no problem fetching the data from relays, the glitch seems on the client side, maybe related to indexdb/API storage.

On Coracle from the inspector I can see some "Cross-Origin Request Blocked" related to the NIP-05 verification, nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn perhaps this error is not properly caught and breaks the profile / dm buttons?

Cors is a common error, the problem may be with firefox's rendering. It's time I revisited browser testing
