<h1>Tor Browser</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Tor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against traffic analysis, a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security.<sup><a href="#1">[1]</a></sup>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2>Spyware Level: <font color="lime">Not Spyware</font></h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The Tor browser is a privacy focused web browser that is used to access the internet either normally or through the Tor Network.
|
|
Connections through the Tor network are much more private than normal connections as you do not have an IP address that is
|
|
associated with you. While spyware services can tell that you are connecting from the Tor network, their ability to identify and profile you is
|
|
greatly reduced. Tor browser is <b><font color="lime">Not Spyware</font></b> and is the best web browser to use for privacy.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
One thing that complicates this review is that most browsers are chastised for sending auto-update requests. However, the Tor browser is doing
|
|
this over the Tor network... so while it's definitely "phoning home", it's doing so in an anonymous way.
