TOR BROWSER DESCRIPTION
Tor Browser is a free open source web browser that anonymizes its users’ web traffic by using the Tor network. And it makes it easy to protect the user’s identity online. Its name is derived from the software’s original name ‘the onion router’.
FEATURES
Block Tracker – No third-party trackers or ads can track you, as Tor isolates each website you visit.
Onion Services: Tor provides anonymity to other servers and websites. This feature is called onion services or hidden services.
Defend yourself from surveillance: Tor Browser prevents anyone watching your connection from knowing which websites you visit. All anyone monitoring your browsers can see is that you are using Tor.
Resist fingerprinting – Tor’s goal is to make all users look the same, making it difficult for its users to be fingerprinted based on information from their browser and device.
Multi-Layer Encryption: It has 3 layers of encryption like an onion. By using Tor Browser, your traffic is relayed and encrypted three times as it passes through the Tor network.
Browse Freely: The Tor Browser app allows you free access to sites that your local Internet Service Provider may have blocked.
