What is Tor?
Tor is free portable software and an open network that helps you defend against a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security known as traffic analysis.
Tor protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, and it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location. Tor works with many of your existing applications, including web browsers, instant messaging clients, remote login, and other applications based on the TCP protocol.

Comments and Reviews
In a century of absolute surveillance this app is a breath of fresh air. Love everything about it. Well done!
its secure your privacy.
Probably one of the most private browsers. I have mixed feelings about Tor's existence. On one hand, I like the added security for activists/whistleblowers and those of us who are just paranoid about privacy. But on the other hand, I feel like it allows for amoral behavior by its userbase which can result in other users having even more of a target on their backs. I still think the tech is cool, but I wish the issue of privacy vs safety wasn't so prevalent online.
Good browser. fast, anonymous access anywhere.
A handy browser with a great inbuilt VPN, I recommend it to anyone who cares about their online anonymity.
A bit slow at times, but the most optimal way to be anonymous that I'm aware of.
Statist parasites blocked Tor traffic by known nods IPs. I couldn't make it work at first. Had to use extra proxies. Even slower connections. Then I found a solution. I found a Tor relay scanner. It finds me a working bridge every time. Then I bypass statist parasites. The speed is decent again. "Tor Relay Availability Checker"
