Tor Browser

About

The Tor Browser is a software application focused on providing anonymity and privacy through strong encryption. It is a modified version of Mozilla Firefox, designed to route internet traffic through a network of volunteer-operated servers known as Tor relays. This process, called onion routing, encrypts data multiple times, making it difficult to trace the user's original IP address or browsing activity. The Tor Browser is open-source, available in multiple languages, and supports various operating systems including Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android. Key features of the Tor Browser include its ability to bypass censorship, access blocked websites, and prevent tracking by websites. It comes with pre-installed privacy-focused add-ons like NoScript and HTTPS Everywhere. However, using the Tor Browser can result in slower browsing speeds and may trigger CAPTCHA verifications on some websites. Despite these limitations, it remains a powerful tool for protecting online privacy and anonymity, making it popular among journalists, activists, and those seeking to avoid surveillance.
