Key Features
Anonymous Browsing: The app routes your internet traffic through multiple servers, making it nearly impossible for anyone to trace your IP address or monitor your online activities.
Secure Connection: The browser uses the HTTPS Everywhere extension to ensure that your connection to websites is encrypted whenever possible, enhancing your security.
No Tracking: It blocks cookies and prevents tracking scripts from monitoring your behavior online, preserving your privacy.
Multi-Platform: Available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android, making it accessible to a wide range of users.
Customizable Security Settings: Users can adjust security levels to balance anonymity and usability, depending on their needs.
User Interface
The Tor Browser's interface is quite similar to Mozilla Firefox, which makes it easy for most users to navigate. It retains Firefox's familiar layout and includes features like bookmarks, history, and extensions. The primary difference is the Tor Button, which provides quick access to essential settings for anonymous browsing. While the interface may appear dated compared to modern browsers, it serves its purpose effectively.
Installation and Setup
Download: Visit the official Tor Project website and download the browser for your platform.
Install: Run the installer, and follow the on-screen instructions.
First Launch: Upon opening the browser, you can configure security settings and connect to the Tor network.
Ready to Use: Once connected, you're ready to browse the internet anonymously.
How to Use
- Launch the browser.
- Configure security settings if needed.
- Connect to the Tor network using the Tor Button.
- Browse the web as you normally would.
Why does the new latest Tor Browser for Windows download say "portable"?
The installer works the same way, independently if one installs it on a stick or their local hard drive. It doesn't require an installer to make any changes to the system. As for why the redundant "-portable" name in the Windows installer? After all, the Windows installer has always been portable! The naming schemes for its various build artifacts have been made mutually consistent.
Is Tor Browser illegal?
No, using the Tor Browser is legal in most countries. However, some governments may restrict or monitor its usage, so be aware of local laws.
Is Tor Browser slower than other browsers?
Yes, it can be slower due to the added security measures and the routing of traffic through multiple nodes. However, it's a trade-off for increased privacy.
Can I use Tor Browser for streaming or downloading torrents?
While possible, it's not recommended, as Tor's primary purpose is anonymity and is not optimized for high-speed data transfer.
Are websites accessible on Tor Browser the same as on a regular browser?
In most cases, yes. However, some websites may block Tor exit nodes, making them inaccessible.
Can I use Tor Browser on my mobile device?
Yes, Tor Browser is available for Android devices as well.
