Tor Browser
The browser for total anonymity. Your traffic passes through three encrypted relays.
Description
Tor Browser routes your traffic through three encrypted relays before reaching the site you visit. Nobody can trace it back to you: not your ISP, not the site, not the relays themselves. It's the reference tool for online anonymity, used by journalists, activists and whistleblowers. Browsing is slower than a regular browser, and some sites block Tor.
Strengths
- Maximum anonymity
- Bypasses censorship
- Supported by a nonprofit foundation
Limitations
- Slow browsing (multi-node routing)
- Some sites block Tor
- Not suitable for daily use
Recommended for
- Need for strong anonymity
- Journalists and whistleblowers

Compared to alternatives
Tor Browser offers maximum anonymity at the cost of speed. Firefox with uBlock Origin covers 90% of privacy needs. Brave blocks trackers without slowing browsing.
