Private And Anonymous Browsing Made Easy With Tor Browser by TrillionBrains(m): 4:26pm On May 05, 2017
Hello guys, I know most of us have heard about or are even making use of the greatest of Browsers known as the Tor Browser, but hang on a little; remember their are newbies in the house. So with no much time wasting, i introduce to you the Tor Browser, how to use it, the risk involved and the EXPECTATIONS shocked too of course.

Tor browser is perhaps the single most accessible piece of software you can use to keep your online activities private and anonymous, while at the same time enhancing your security. It’s also incredibly easy to use, using as it does, a modified version of Mozilla’s Firefox browser. To put it simply, if you can use Google, you can use the Tor Browser.

Why Use Tor?

Perhaps the most astonishing of questions ever. Well, firstly, Tor itself is an acronym and an analogy. It stands for the The Onion Router, the idea being that like an onion, Tor has many layers of encryption and protection built into it, that make it easy for you to become anonymous online, and make it next to impossible to track you, and your activities.
In real terms, Tor has been designed to stop anyone, including government agencies, Internet Service Providers, and corporations from learning your location, and from consequently tracking your browsing habits and selling that data on.
Proof of just how effective the Tor Browser, and the Tor network it runs on can be proved by the fact that lots of journalists, activists, law enforcement professionals, whistle-blowers and businesses all use it so why not you?.

How Tor Works.

The protocol behind how Tor works was originally designed for the US NAVY
as a way of being able to use existing communications networks around the world securely. The US Navy still uses it today. Tor Browser works by first of all encrypting the web traffic you send out into the Internet. It then routes all your web traffic through the Tor network, a series of ‘relays’ or ‘nodes’ run by thousands of volunteer computers around the world taking different routes each time. This makes it extremely hard for anyone to identify the source of the information and next to impossible to track the user. While that’s a ridiculously simple analogy of how Tor works, it pretty much covers all the bases.

Easy To Use Tor Browser?

So having gotten all this knowledge, i will say; "Very, very easy". You don’t really need to know anything about encryption or how it all works. Tor is also based on the not-for-profit Mozilla Firefox browser, looks good, and crucially, is simple and easy to use.
Tor Browser is also easy and 100% free and open source browser which you can get from several downloaded software sites.


Thanks to you if you made it to this last paragraph of a little but mighty tutorial. See you next time!!!
