**1. Methodology**
''Introduction''
The onboarding experience was designed to teach the user about Tor and set
their expectations. The purpose of this test is to check whether these
design objectives have been met.
''Sessions''
- We spoke to 5 users using an interview style.
- They were given a computer with the Tor Browser 8 `about:tor` open and
asked a few questions.
- Each session lasted about 5 minutes.
- No dialogue was recorded, the interviewer took notes and participants
also made comments on sticky notes.
''Participants''
- These were 5 users who have used Tor before.
- No gender was defined in these interviews
''Evaluation tasks/scenarios''
We asked them the following questions:
- What do you think about the content on this page?
- What do you think about the Illustrations?
- Did you find any challenges while navigating `aboutL:tor`?
- What would you like to see here?
- Is there anything that does not belong on this site?
**2. Results**

friendly UI.

- "Maybe the onboarding launcher needs to be named"
**3. User questions**
- "Why do we have the user manual as well as the on boarding?"

illustrations.
