In this third Tor article, we will discover the web browser **Tor

Browser**.


The **Tor Browser** is an official Tor project. It is a modified

Firefox, including some defaults settings changes and some extensions.

The default changes are all related to privacy and anonymity. It has

been made to be easy to browse the Internet through Tor without

leaving behind any information which could help identify you, because

there are much more information than your public IP address which

could be used against you.


It requires tor daemon to be installed and running, as I covered in my

first Tor article.


Using it is really straightforward.


How to install tor-browser


$ pkg_add tor-browser


How to start tor-browser


$ tor-browser


It will create a ~/TorBrowser-Data folder at launch. You can remove it

as you want, it doesn't contain anything sensitive but is required for

it to work.
