About:
Tor Browser is a web browser based on Mozilla Firefox, designed to protect user privacy and anonymity online. It routes all traffic through the Tor network, encrypting it in multiple layers and bouncing it between volunteer relays. This makes it difficult for anyone to track your location or activity, and allows access to websites that are otherwise blocked.
Key Features:
  • Routes traffic through the Tor network for anonymity
  • Blocks browser fingerprinting techniques
  • Isolates cookies and browsing data per site
  • Accesses .onion sites (dark web)
Use Cases:
  • Anonymous web browsing to protect privacy
  • Circumventing network censorship and firewalls
  • Accessing .onion services securely
Alternatives:
  • Brave – Privacy-focused browser with built-in ad blocking, but does not route through Tor by default
  • Firefox – Strong privacy features with extensions, but requires manual configuration for Tor routing
