Tor Browser is a free and open source web browser based on Firefox, which was designed especially to protect your privacy, defend yourself against network surveillance and traffic analysis.
Tor Browser isolates each website you visit so third-party trackers and ads can’t follow you.
Any cookies automatically clear when you’re done browsing. So will your browsing history.
Tor Browser prevents someone watching your connection from knowing what websites you visit.
All anyone monitoring your browsing habits can see is that you’re using Tor.
Your traffic is relayed and encrypted three times as it passes over the Tor network.
The network is comprised of thousands of volunteer-run servers known as Tor relays.

I believe everyone should be able to explore the internet with privacy using Tor Browser.
