What's Tor?
It is a software package designed to make communication on the Internet anonymous. The data is sent via a distributed network of Tor relays operated by volunteers around the world. This is to prevent third parties from recognizing which websites a user visits and where their physical location is (for example, to block websites).
The Tor Browser (based on Firefox) is part of the Tor Browser, which communicates via the Tor network and is available for Microsoft Windows, Apple MacOS or GNU/Linux. Tor is portable, so you can use its functions without installing any software. Tor can be run from a USB flash drive, for example, and comes with a pre-configured web browser to protect anonymity. The whole package is self-contained (portable).
