In collaboration with the Anti-Censorship team at the Tor Project, we've sought to reduce this burden with the introduction of Connection Assist: a new feature that when required will offer to automatically apply the bridge configuration we think will work best in your location for you.Ĭonnection Assist works by looking up and downloading an up-to-date list of country-specific options to try using your location (with your consent). This placed the burden on censored users (who are already under significant pressure) to figure out what option to pick, resulting in a lot of trial, error and frustration in the process. What's more, censorship of Tor isn't uniform – and while a certain pluggable transport or bridge configuration may work in one country, that doesn't mean it'll work elsewhere.

TOR BROWSER FOR ANDROID DOWNLOAD
More often than not you have nothing to hide, but even so, valuing and protecting your right to privacy and anonymity on the net is paramount to freedom.Tor Browser 11.5 is now available from the Tor Browser download page and also from our distribution directory. Tor Browser is a powerful and, above all, secure Internet browser that lets you surf anonymously. In that sense, you gain total anonymity and total browsing freedom. In other words, if a person or website tries to find out who you really are or what website you're using, the only thing they'll see is that you're logging on from the Tor network. In that sense, using Tor is completely unlike other browsers, where after looking for information about shoes on a page, you'll get ads trying to sell you shoes on the next page you visit.Īnother advantage of Tor Browser is that all its users seem to have the same appearance when it comes to any monitoring system attempt.

Any time you leave a page, your cookies are automatically cleaned. One of the most interesting (and popular) features of Tor Browser is the ability to isolate every web page you visit, so trackers and ads can't follow you from one web page to another. Orbot, as many users already know, is a version of the Tor network for Android-one of the most powerful Internet privacy tools out there today. Now you can surf the Internet completely anonymously and securely, hiding your online identity under several layers of security. Tor Browser is the official browser for Tor Project, the team behind Orbot.
