While you surf the web, your IP address is logged by every website you visit. Also, your browser may send information about your browsing habits to Google or other services. If you wish to visit your favorite websites without giving away any information about yourself, then you should look for an alternative browsing solution. The Tor Browser Bundle includes everything you need to ensure your privacy. The main tool that should interest you is Tor Browser, which enables you to surf the web anonymously, but you can find other useful tools as well.

Despite its simple appearance, Tor Browser comes with all the features you would expect from a modern web browser. You can visit several websites on separate tabs and it is possible to rip individual tabs, to create new browser windows. Besides the address bar, you can find a search bar as well, which can be used to find specific contents on Google, Wikipedia, Amazon, Ebay and other services. What's more, Tor comes with a quick dial, which is displayed on the new tab page. Bookmarking websites is another possibility and you can manage your bookmarks in folders and on a bookmarks bar, just like in other popular web browsers.

The central feature of Tor Browser is its anonymous browsing capabilities. Regardless of what sites you visit, the browser will always redirect your connection through a proxy, to hide your real IP address. A few options can be found next to the address bar, for starting a new browsing session, with a different identity, for protecting cookies, setting up a custom proxy and more. For extra protection, the browser automatically blocks all scripts, but you can enable them temporarily, for the currently displayed website or globally.

Pros

The browser redirects your Internet traffic automatically, to protect your identity. It also blocks all scripts and it allows you to enable them temporarily. Tor looks and feels like other modern web browsers, so you can use it without any difficulties.

Cons

You can't customize the quick dial. With Tor Browser Bundle, you can access anything on the Internet and protect your identity at the same time, without any effort.
