Anonymous surfing on the Internet
|
Conclusion
The Tor browser bundle makes it possible to significantly increase the level of your privacy on the Internet. The developers have preconfigured the relevant settings very well so you won't need to worry much about manual configuration. In my test, the browser exhibited performance similar to that of the standard Firefox version. The only flaw in the bundle is the lack of the Adblock Plus and Ghostery add-ons, but you can easily fix that with manual installation that requires just a few mouse clicks.
