BLOCK TRACKERS
Tor Browser isolates each website you visit so third-party trackers and ads can’t follow you. Any cookies automatically clear when you’re done browsing.

DEFEND AGAINST SURVEILLANCE
Tor Browser prevents someone watching your connection from knowing what websites you visit. All anyone monitoring your browsing habits can see is that you’re using Tor.

RESIST FINGERPRINTING
Tor aims to make all users look the same, making it difficult for you to be fingerprinted based on your browser and device information.

MULTI-LAYERED ENCRYPTION
When you use Tor Browser for Android, your traffic is relayed and encrypted three times as it passes over the Tor network. The network is comprised of thousands of volunteer-run servers known as Tor relays. Watch this animation to learn more about how it works:

Ratings and reviews

Its good but slower than most. My biggest complaint is the refresh when you barely pull down and swipe anywhere near the top of the page. You can be typing and adjust the page down while zoomed in BAM! the page refreshes and you have to start all over again. Sometimes I swear I just looked at it wrong and it started to refresh the page.

This is a different experience compared to normal browsers. Tor browser is a variant of Firefox. The first difference is that you have to connect to the network before you can do anything, and depending on what Internet connection you are using, you may not be able to. The second difference is that not all websites will work because advertising is suppressed, and scripts are blocked to prevent your location from being found. The Decentraleysed addin helps with this.

Good, but can be better. 1) For all sec levels, make user agent less unique, hide the platform, and show inexact ff version, like esr, that changes rarely. 2) Add options: 1. Hide fonts. 2. Enable letterboxing (screen resolution rounding) 3. Set content lang to en_US, not system lang. 4. (Not sure if a good idea) Set timezone to the current exit node location. 5. Make navigator properties less unique?
