Fans of the anonymizing Tor browser can now utilize the same features on their phone thanks to the Tor mobile browser app. The Tor mobile browser app is currently available on Android devices through Google Play or can be directly downloaded as an .APK file from the Tor Project website.
In addition to offering mobile users an encrypted and anonymized experience, the Tor mobile browser also includes a host of other features. The Android app also contains tracker-blocking tools, which are capable of isolating each visited website and can stop advertisers from following users. The mobile browser will also automatically delete all cookies once a user's session is over.
To use the Tor mobile browser, users will also have to download the Tor Project proxy app, Orbot.
