How to download and use tor browser on android

Android Package Kit is an Android application package file format used for distributing files and installing them on Android OS devices. Installing apps and games from APK file is a simple and straightforward process which you will remember forever when done once. It is a safe and working way to avoid restrictions made by developers for distributing apps in some geographical regions.

Tap the blue button below and navigate to the download page. There you will choose the available download method. Have in mind that some apps and games may not be available in Google Play for your country of residence. We are proud to serve your working mirrors This has to be done only the first time you are installing an unknown APK file. I suggest using a file manager app MiXPlorer is my choice as robust and easy to use to locate Tor Browser apk file.

It is most commonly located in the Downloads folder. I strongly recommend Tor Browser as good communication software. You may want to block any web trackers from snooping on your activity. To do this, tap the three-dot icon and select New Private Tab. The new private browsing page you open will block any elements that may track your browsing activity and won't be saved as part of your browsing history.

You can continue to open more tabs this way. To manage your tabbed pages, tap the number to the left of the three-dot icon. At the tab page, you can now close a page by tapping on its X.

You can close all open pages by tapping the three-dot icon and selecting Close All Tabs. Next, you may want to tweak the security settings in Tor. To do this from any open webpage, tap the three-dot icon, swipe down the menu, and select Security Settings. The default Standard Security Setting is the most open and usable but least secure option as it enables all Tor browser and website features. If you want to test Tor against potential attacks and dangerous websites, you can adjust the security slider to Safer or Safest.

With the Safer setting enabled, HTML5 video and audio media become click-to-play via NoScript, all JavaScript performance optimizations are disabled, some mathematical equations may not display properly, some font rendering features are disabled, some types of images are disabled, and JavaScript is disabled by default on all non-HTTPS sites. The Safest setting includes all of the restrictions from the Safer setting, but most video and audio formats are disabled, JavaScript is disabled by default on all sites, and some fonts and icons may not display correctly.

You can explore other settings for security and privacy. Tap the three-dot icon and select Settings. At the Settings screen, tap the Search setting.

In light of its focus on user privacy, DuckDuckGo is the default search engine, though you can change that to Google, Bing, or another site. From the Settings screen, go to Privacy. OrFox is the companion browser created for Orbot, also developed by the great folks over at the Guardian Project. The app has no required setup prior to use other than a reliance on OrBot.

OrFox does provide the bonus of getting around most online restrictions. OrWeb comes as the default browser with the download and installation of OrBot but contains many limitations. Ensure that you acquire OrFox for use with OrBot so as not to be limited in your Tor browsing capabilities.
