Tor Browser

Tor Browser is an application with the help of which the user gets access to onion web portals and travels anonymously through the expanses of the global network. Tor Browser is a mobile version of the onion web browser, which functions on devices running the Android operating system. This program will provide a person with a high level of security and anonymity in the World Wide Web. The principle of onion routing not only contributes to the concealment of personal information of the user, but also provides a chance to visit web resources in the darknet. It is worth noting that in addition to the web navigator itself, software called "Orbot" is installed in the system to connect to a proxy server.

Security and privacy

The software guarantees several levels of protection. For example, it neutralizes trackers and analytics tools, and deactivates other tracking technologies. The utility hides the real IP address and allows you to surf the DarkNet. Since the method of onion route construction almost 100 percent does not allow tracking users on the Internet, Tor Browser is forbidden to use on the territory of many countries. The program has a controversial reputation, as many people use it to access the DarkNet.

Application

Using the Android version of the program is as easy as any other mobile browser. The client independently connects to the onion network, and the elements of its interface should not cause any difficulties even for beginners. In general, the visual part of the software resembles the standard appearance of Mozilla Firefox. It is on the basis of the latter browser that Tor was developed.
