Tor Browser sends browser traffic through the Tor network and tries to make users look more alike to websites. It is most useful when you need to reduce the connection between your IP address and browsing activity. It is not magic anonymity: logging into an identifying account, downloading files and opening them outside the browser, or customizing the browser can expose you.

What it offers

  • Routes browser traffic through Tor
  • Site isolation and anti-fingerprinting protections
  • HTTPS-Only Mode

Limitations

  • Signing into personal accounts can identify you.
  • Tor Browser cannot guarantee anonymity or protect against every device compromise.
  • Adding extensions or changing defaults can make you easier to identify.
