Orfox: Tor Browser for Android

Orfox: Tor Browser for Android brings the well-known privacy features of Tor’s desktop version to your mobile device. It’s built using the same code as the desktop version and is based on Mozilla Firefox, but it’s tweaked to work well on Android phones and tablets. If you a relooking for some privacy while surfing on the internet on your Androişd device, Orfox can be one of your trusted partners.

Orfox isn’t a stand-alone app; it works together with the Orbot Proxy app to connect to the Tor network. This setup ensures that users are completely anonymous online, with their data passing through several proxies. If you've used Firefox before, you’ll find Orfox familiar and easy to navigate. It includes standard browser features like tabbed browsing and bookmarks, and it even has a 'Guest Mode' for private browsing sessions that leave no trace once you're done.

Orfox works only on Android devices. It’s designed to be lightweight, so it won’t slow down your phone or use many resources. Its interface is simple and user-friendly, making it easy for anyone to start using it immediately, whether they’re familiar with Firefox or not.

Orfox helps keep your browsing private. It blocks trackers and doesn’t keep any cookies, which are usually used to remember you on websites. This means you can access content that might be restricted in your country without anyone knowing. The browser lets you customize your toolbar for quicker searches and choose the search engine you prefer. There’s also a feature to view mobile versions of websites, which is handy on a phone.

Orfox is free to download and use. You can install it just like any other app from the Android store. It’s particularly useful for people like journalists or activists who need to keep their browsing private, but really, anyone who cares about online privacy might find it helpful. Orfox has a clean and simple design that makes it easy to use. Everything you need is right where you expect it to be, which makes browsing comfortable and straightforward.

You’ll need to download the Orbot Proxy as well, but once that’s done, using Orfox is as simple as using any other browser. It might sound complicated because it uses advanced technology to keep you anonymous, but in practice, it feels just like using any regular browser—just more private.

Orfox is similar to the Tor browser for desktops but is made to work on Android. It has some changes to fit Android’s needs better. Although it doesn’t yet have some features like HTTPS Everywhere, there are plans to add these soon to make the browser even safer.
