Tor works by sending your traffic through three random servers (also known as relays) in the Tor network. Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows you to improve your privacy and security on the Internet. Cookies are only valid for a single session (until Tor Browser is exited or a New Identity is requested). In addition, Tor Browser is designed to prevent websites from “fingerprinting” or identifying you based on your browser configuration.īy default, Tor Browser does not keep any browsing history. Having a separate Firefox add-on has another advantage: Other users, non-Tor, security concerned. The operators of the websites and services that you use, and anyone watching them, will see a connection coming from the Tor network instead of your real Internet (IP) address, and will not know who you are unless you explicitly identify yourself. Since Tor Launcher might become a standalone XUL app or also being used in Tails some day (having it in Whonix some day would be interesting as well), I think having such a security slider is better in TorButton or even better in a separate add-on.Your internet service provider, and anyone watching your connection locally, will not be able to track your internet activity, including the names and addresses of the websites you visit.Using the Tor network has two main properties: Tor Browser uses the Tor network to protect your privacy and anonymity.
