A free web browser that enables anonymous internet communication by routing traffic through the Tor network.
What is Tor Browser?
Tor Browser is a free, open-source web browser that enables anonymous internet communication by routing all traffic through the Tor network. It prevents network observers from learning what sites you visit, hides your physical location from websites, and allows access to blocked content. The browser is specifically designed to protect user privacy and resist fingerprinting.
Journalists, activists, researchers, and anyone concerned about online privacy who needs to browse the internet anonymously or access censored content. It's also valuable for users in regions with internet restrictions.
Tor Browser provides the most accessible way to use the Tor network with built-in privacy protections and anti-fingerprinting measures. Unlike VPNs or proxy services, it offers multi-layered anonymity through the decentralized Tor network at no cost.
