Defend yourself against tracking and surveillance. Circumvent censorship.
Overall a great browser and great network, recommended for those looking for maximum anonymity and privacy.
What is Tor? In basic English, its an anonymous browser. This means when you use it your real IP location won’t get revealed unlike Chrome or Internet Explorer (each time you open the browser you’ll get a different anonymous IP anywhere in the world)Why do people use Tor?To hide their identities when accessing the dark web or clearnet (normal internet). For the past 7 years or more I’ve been using it for normal internet use when accessing email or adult sites as I don’t want my usage linked back to my IP Why 4 stars?4 stars is for the whole 7 years I’ve been using it, but only 3 stars if this review was concerned solely with the past year or soGood points:1. Very easy to set up. You just download it (Tor Browser Bundle) as any Internet browser and you can start using it instantly.2. It works. It hides your identity3 Almost impossible for a regular person to work out who you are. Unless you’re dealing with the FBI or something4. Its free – Tor project only makes money through donations 5. You can use it for both darknet and clearnet like I did6. No need for a VPN service. You can just use Tor for freeI’ve been using Tor for nearly 7 years now to browse various clearnet adult dating sites so it would be unfair to give it any less than 4 stars considering what I’ve got out of it. That said, for the past few months the user experience has steadily declined 1. Verification checks seem to be increasing on regular internet sites...One such example being Yahoo mail where I can hardly check my emails anymore. Nearly every single time I'm hit with a ‘Prove you’re not a robot’ verification check. This never used to happen before and I freely swapped between different accounts without any issues at all. Such a shame things have changed 2. Many clearnet (normal internet) sites have become unusable with Tor...Unfortunately the past few years has also seen many other sites come down hard on anonymous Tor users. This includes many discussion forums and classifieds sites like Craigslist and Gumtree3. Despite promises, Captcha is still a massive headache for Tor users...We were promised last year that Captcha challenges would be ended for Tor users (see the ZDNet article 20 Sep 2018 “Cloudfare ends CAPTCHA challenges for Tor Users”). This became a massive problem as you were hit with a never-ending loop of Captcha challenges but even after all that, you couldn’t access the site you wanted. Sorry to say this problem hasn’t actually gone away but its gotten worse. A personal pet-hate of mine is Doublelist where you can end up spending 40 minutes to publish a two-sentence ad. As I’ve already mentioned, in nearly 7 years I've never had a problem with Yahoo before but this past month even that's giving me trouble. Before I used to be able to log in to different user accounts in close succession without any issue at all, but now you can't even log into a single account without encountering a stupid verification check. It’s a real shame as Tor was really reliable for me for many years but for the past few months or so this seems to have changed.
If you want to be secure, Tor is the best choice. Sometimes it is slow, but it something you have to count. Good job i can recommend!
TOR 10.5.15 does not allow "bookmarks" or "Roboform". Their big red banner warning and solutions are a bunch of bull. I have tried ALL of those supposed fixes and NONE work.
This is the safest web browser you can ever use. And it's free. This means if you need to add your sensitive details over the internet, eg. id card, passport for different purposes like BTC, scheduling appointments, etc., you will be safe with this browser. It does load a bit slower than any other one, but give it some time, it will be loaded very fast. All the recommendations.

Based on the best browser around (mozilla) it could be nothing but perfect. This one sacrificing the versatility of addons in turn of anonymity. No other browser, mozilla included, will offer you a more secure way of accessing the internet.
Dieser Mist von Browser läuft auf meinem PC nicht. Dauernd krächzt er von Problemen mit dem eingebauten Firefox und startet nicht.Wäre ja ganz interessant, mal ins Darknet zu gehen, aber wie gesagt. TOR (The Onion Router) kommt mir nicht mehr auf die Platte.Schrott!!
An extremely weak company that encourages other companies (via Tor Verified links) to sign up Tor users for the purpose of stealing their coin deposits. Case in point: two companies Tor verifies as ‘going concerns’ that are anything but. BitMarket and the Peoples Drug Store.I opened an account on both thinking Tor was behind them. On BitMarket I deposited $440. The website says you can buy things and withdraw your unused deposits at any time. Problem is BitMarket is closed down and you cannot buy anything. No one will answer messages and you cannot withdraw your coin deposits. In the case of the Peoples Drug Store. I sent $400 to the btc address they provided. Its been 7 days and the funds have not shown in my account. Since both websites were Verified by Tor I felt comfortable funding the accounts. I cannot understand why Tot would allow these two companies to steal funds from Tor users after Tor has “Verified” the companies as reputable ‘going concerns’. I hope Tor will read this review because they did not respond to my email describing the above.
