BLOCK TRACKERS
Tor Browser isolates each website you visit so third-party trackers and ads can’t follow you. Any cookies automatically clear when you’re done browsing.

DEFEND AGAINST SURVEILLANCE
Tor Browser prevents someone watching your connection from knowing what websites you visit. All anyone monitoring your browsing habits can see is that you’re using Tor.

RESIST FINGERPRINTING
Tor aims to make all users look the same, making it difficult for you to be fingerprinted based on your browser and device information.

MULTI-LAYERED ENCRYPTION
When you use Tor Browser for Android, your traffic is relayed and encrypted three times as it passes over the Tor network. The network is comprised of thousands of volunteer-run servers known as Tor relays. Watch this animation to learn more about how it works:

BROWSE FREELY
With Tor Browser for Android, you are free to access sites your local internet service provider may have blocked.

THIS APP IS MADE POSSIBLE BY DONORS LIKE YOU
Tor Browser is free and open source software developed by the Tor
Project, a nonprofit organization. You can help keep Tor strong, secure,

Stay off my phone Stay off my messaging

I like Tor, it's a good app, Will continue to use it. The only thing is when you look at the logs it shows who's hacking your phone. I saw everything they wrote. smh. I wonder what their purpose is? well maybe Tor can figure out why they're doing their app in that manner. Well thank you. I recommend it.

I have used this program before and I saw a lot of other comments AKA reviews in the Google Play Store that is bad and I disagree for those who said that it's bad it's understandable this app is mostly used for dark web me myself I have not used dark web for malicious purposes and I will never and I do understand that you might be frustrated that keeps crashing well I mean it's the dark web it's very sketchy so of course it will crash

Jester Observer

On linux, windows, and android, for alpha edition 3/5, refuses to load networks such as fediverse pleroma. ""Normal Tor Browser will work off of play store with .apk installer on android, .exe windows, .zip for linux unarchived and load in linux. Ladder tor alpha obviously needs error, bug, or fixs needed to connect to pages and networks. Runs great with normal version of tor web browser though, not alpha. Alpha worked out of box in past years. Hope tor team can fix these issues in future.""
