Apps: Tor Browser

Last updated: September 17, 2025

What Tor Browser routes web traffic over Tor with anti-fingerprinting protections. Package: org.torproject.torbrowser.

Why on Zer0

  • Strong network anonymity for browsing; no Google components required.
  • Pairs with Zer0 workflows for research and high-risk contexts.

Safe use

  • Keep default settings; higher security levels reduce attack surface.
  • Avoid logins that deanonymize you; separate identities strictly.
  • Do not install extensions; they weaken protections.

Limits

  • Slower browsing; some sites block Tor or break CAPTCHAs.
  • DRM and media casting are limited or unavailable.

Verify

  • Prefer official distribution channels from Tor Project; verify signatures as documented by Tor.
