VPNs and incognito mode provide a certain level of anonymity on the Internet, but if you want more privacy, you will need other software solutions. One such solution is the Tor browser, which has exited beta testing and is now available to all users of Android devices.
The foundation of the Tor browser is Firefox. This means that the application's interface is familiar to many users. It supports tabbed browsing and many common features found in standard Firefox. The difference is that Tor does not connect directly to websites, but instead uses multiple intermediaries servers, through which user requests are sent. This approach helps to hide the user's real IP address as well as other identifying information. Another important distinction is that the Orbot proxy client, which previously had to be downloaded and configured separately, is now built into the browser itself. Users no longer need to launch it separately, as it starts working automatically upon opening Tor.
The Tor Browser can be quite useful, as it allows users to bypass geographic restrictions. Additionally, the program helps eliminate annoying ads, as websites won't be able to collect data used to display relevant content to users.
Regarding the absence of a Tor Browser version for the iOS platform, developers believe that Apple blocks necessary computing processes, thus forcing browser manufacturers to use their own engine. For a high level of privacy while browsing, iPhone and iPad users are recommended to use the Onion Browser.
