This web browser provides enhanced privacy features as well as the ability to circumvent web content filtering and network surveillance by utilizing the Tor network.
It is important to understand that malicious apps on your device or software installed by your phones manufacturer or service provider,
may monitor and track your activity regardless.
Before you get started, please remember that:
- you must install Orbot from the Android Market (search "Orbot") or download the APK directly from the Tor website ("google: Tor on Android");
- Orbot must be activated and connected to the Tor network;
- your first connection may take a while to get started;
- and that browsing via Tor may be slower than browsing normally.
Known issues:
- This browser will only connect to Tor on Android 1.x devices (NOT Droid or NexusOne)
- some form submissions may not work
