Description

Tor Browser (TB) is a customized version of Firefox Extended Service Release built specifically for internet browsing over the Tor anonymity network.

TB's configuration aims to mitigate attacks on a client's anonymity, including determining the client's actual IP address and browser fingerprinting. Other aspects of Firefox have also been patched to plug privacy leaks in ways not possible any other way.

TB includes a custom Firefox add-on only meant for TB (NoScript). This package provides merely the modified version of Firefox ESR. Please install the tor-browser meta-package to make sure you have everything installed correctly.

Remember that there are no perfect privacy or anonymity solutions, and this includes TB. As always you must pay attention and in many cases modify your behavior to ensure your privacy online.
