Tor Browser is the most private way to browse the web. It bounces your traffic through three encrypted relays in the Tor network. No single relay sees both who you are and what you are looking at. It is built on a hardened Firefox and makes every user look identical, which defeats fingerprinting. It is the standard tool for getting around censorship and for anyone who needs to stay anonymous. The cost is speed, since the traffic takes a long way around. Some sites block Tor or throw up extra checks. It runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android. There is no version for iOS, because Apple forces every browser onto its own engine. For iPhone and iPad, the Tor Project recommends Onion Browser instead, which routes through Tor but cannot match Tor Browser’s protections under Apple’s rules.
