Tor Browser

Tor Browser is a free web browser that allows users to browse the internet anonymously and securely. It is developed by the Tor Project, a nonprofit organization based in the US. While the browser will always be free, donations are greatly appreciated and help to support the development and maintenance of the software.

One of the main features of Tor Browser is its ability to block third-party trackers and ads, ensuring that your online activity cannot be tracked by these entities. Additionally, all cookies are automatically cleared when you finish browsing, further protecting your privacy.

Another important aspect of Tor Browser is its defense against surveillance. By using the browser, your internet service provider or anyone monitoring your connection will only be able to see that you are using Tor, but not the specific websites you are visiting.

Tor Browser also aims to resist fingerprinting, which is the process of identifying and tracking users based on their browser and device information. By making all users look the same, it becomes much more difficult for individuals to be identified and tracked.

The browser also utilizes multi-layered encryption, meaning that your internet traffic is relayed and encrypted three times as it passes through the Tor network. This network is made up of thousands of volunteer-run servers called Tor relays, providing an extra layer of security for users.

One of the benefits of using Tor Browser is the ability to access websites that may be blocked by your local internet service provider. This allows for greater freedom and access to information.

The Tor Project relies on donations to continue developing and maintaining Tor Browser. As a nonprofit organization, they are dedicated to protecting people from tracking, surveillance, and censorship online. Donations help to keep the software strong, secure, and independent.

The Tor Project's mission is to advance human rights and freedoms by creating and deploying free and open source anonymity and privacy technologies, and they are committed to furthering scientific and popular understanding of these issues.
