It helps users protect their internet browsing records, the text of performed searches, user ID and password information from identity thieves and marketers. Teams using Tor Browser can safeguard details of their communications from irresponsible corporations. The application enables parents to prevent their children from sharing personally-identifying information online. It allows users to research sensitive topics by providing access to the information behind a national firewall, such as birth control, AIDS, world religions, specific cultures and more. Additionally, journalists can use the platform to track harmed or jailed prisoners and securely accept documents submitted by whistleblowers. Tor Browser allows law enforcement officers to surf questionable services and websites, like illegal gambling sites without leaving traces for the administrator to view multiple connections from government IP addresses. It also helps financial institutions to participate in security clearinghouses as a result of internet attacks. > > Verdict: Rated **4.6/5** by 72 users.

This has made Tor a godsend to people in countries with authoritarian regimes that heavily restrict internet access. While this may not be something that effects my life in a direct way, it is something that deserves a great deal of respect, in my opinion. > > **Cons**: Tor can be difficult to configure or troubleshoot at times. It is definitely intended for semi-advanced users (at least), but novice and beginner users can pick it up if needed. What Tor is infamous for, however, is its almost cartoonishly excessive slow load times. This is inherent to its functionality, because the users location is being pinged across the globe to mask the IP address, which takes more time. > > I have used Tor browser for the last few years and have become accustomed to it. While the slow load times preclude it from being a serious option for general, all-purpose internet browsing, it can be used to browse without being seen to great effect. ----- ### "Tor Browser EO" — 5.0/5 > **Eyüp** | *22 April 2022* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I trust this software a lot. I do a lot of my private work in this browser > > **Cons**: I don't understand why such a good browser isn't on mobile. They are far behind other software in this regard. ----- ### "Fantastic and Anonymous" — 3.0/5 > **Parag** | *10 September 2022* | Warehousing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The feature using vpn combined with a browser is fantastic. You can easily look up for onion websites > > **Cons**: Relatively low connection speed Takes time to load websites ----- ### "Secure browser" — 5.0/5 > **Jelle** | *5 June 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: TOR Browser is a great browser that does well when it comes to privacy, as it has a lot of features when it comes to that and security. Besides that I also like the possibility to easily filter out advertisements while browsing. > > **Cons**: I can't really think of anything that I disliked about TOR. If I had to say something it would be that I experienced a few small bugs while using the software. > > My overall experience with TOR Browser is simply great, the software is free to use so why could you dislike it. ----- ### "Privacy Protection and Security with Tor Browser" — 5.0/5 > **Gbenga** | *10 February 2023* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: This browser has proven to be a valuable tool for protecting my online activities, and here's why:Anonymity: Tor Browser routes my internet traffic through a network of servers, ensuring that my online activities are untraceable. This gives me peace of mind when I'm browsing sensitive information or engaging in online transactions.Security: Tor Browser uses encryption to protect my data and blocks trackers, ads, and other malicious content, keeping my online activities secure. This is especially important when I'm accessing sensitive information or engaging in financial transactions online. > > **Cons**: Tor Browser is not compatible with certain websites and applications, also its slow browsing speed is a drawback, I have used faster browsers. > > I'm extremely satisfied with Tor Browser and the level of protection it provides. I feel confident knowing that my online activities are private and secure, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a browser that prioritizes privacy and security. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/231532/tor-browser?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/231532/tor-browser) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
