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:

BROWSE FREELY

Ratings and reviews

App repeatedly crashing upon attempted opening. If and when it does stay open, it is having difficulty connecting to websites. Long story short, it's a mess! Uninstalled until a new update fixes this unwanted behavior. Fortunately, I am in a country that has options, but many others do not and depend on your app, in some cases, with their lives. Please fix this!!!

Works well for accessing the Tor network. However, considering I use this app near-exclusively for an archive and would like to save photos to my device, the inability to do so is frustrating at best. Not sure if this is a bug or a sacrifice in the name of anonymity and security, though since Orfox was able to save images just fine, I'm hoping it's the former.

I am now of the opinion that one cannot use only one browser. So, I've installed a few to analyze them, and settle on 3. Tor was the very first and I'm impressed already. Nice appearance, easy to get up & running, great security settings, enough options for comfortably, and a bundle of add ons to customize it. So far I'm impressed and quite taken back by the efficiency with which it displays, plus the settings are at your fingertips with no articles and 20 step procedures and protocols to forget
