The developers at The Tor Project have released the official Tor Browser for Android today. The alpha version of the Tor Browser for Android is already out in the Play Store. Just like the PC version, the Tor Browser for Android gives the users full control over their privacy.
Tor Browser is quite popular among the users who are sensitive about their online privacy. The Tor Browser incorporates all the features that a tech-savvy would want in a web browser. The Tor Browser for Android can completely hide the identity of a user over the internet. It can protect the data of the user from getting compromised. It comes with multi-layer encryption making your internet connection completely safe and secure.
Previously, the Tor Browser was available for Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms. Now that it has made its way to the Android ecosystem, the Android users do not need to use any other replacement of the Tor Browser. The Orfox browser, that uses the Tor Network, will be dumped in favor of the official Tor Browser.
In order to run the Tor Browser on the Android smartphones, users will have to install an additional application called Orbot. Orbot is the proxy application that helps the Tor Browser to establish a connection with the Tor Network. With these two applications, you can completely forget about your online privacy and identity.
Here are all the features of the Tor Browser for Android.
- Block Trackers.
- Defend Against Surveillance.
- Resist Fingerprinting.
- Multi-layered encryption.
- Browse freely.
