Tor Browser + VPN never compromise on user’s privacy. As a supporter of Online Privacy we make sure that all of the personal and user data remains private. That is why we follow the strict no log policy which means that we never collect user’s personal data.
Also using our app allows you to use Tor Browser as well which provides 100x More Privacy and Anonymity to users. You can also use our browser to access .onion sites
Tor (The Onion Router) is a network that anonymizes web traffic to provide truly private web browsing. The Tor Browser hides your IP address and browsing activity by redirecting web traffic through a series of different routers known as nodes.
By Using Tor you will be saved from online tracking. No one can track you and your browsing data will be deleted completely.
The private browsing modes in Safari and Chrome are designed to provide users with a level of privacy by not saving their browsing history, cookies, or other local data on their devices. However, these modes do not guarantee complete privacy, as the data can still be collected and stored by third-party websites, internet service providers, and other entities.
On the other hand, our private browsers offer a higher level of privacy and security by implementing a strict no-log policy. This means that the browser does not collect any data related to the user’s browsing activity, search queries, or websites visited.
Additionally, our browser offers full anonymity, meaning that it does not track or store any information that could be used to identify the user, such as name, email address, or location. This feature is particularly important for users who want to keep their online activities completely private.
