About:
Tor Browser Alpha is a privacy-focused web browser that routes traffic through the Tor network to anonymize user location and usage. It provides strong protection against tracking, surveillance, and censorship by isolating each website and encrypting connections through multiple relays.
Key Features:
  • Anonymizes web traffic via the Tor network
  • Built-in protection against browser fingerprinting
  • Blocks third-party trackers and scripts by default
  • Enables access to .onion websites and the dark web
Use Cases:
  • Browsing the web with enhanced privacy and anonymity
  • Accessing information in regions with heavy internet censorship
Alternatives:
  • Brave Browser – Focuses on speed and built-in ad-blocking with optional Tor windows, but does not route all traffic through Tor by default.
  • Mullvad Browser – A privacy browser developed with the Tor Project, designed to resist fingerprinting but typically used with a VPN rather than the Tor network.
