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). <\/p>\n<p>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).<\/p>\n<h2>Tor Browser 7.0.6<\/h2>\n<p>The new version 7.0.6 of the Tor browser is a maintenance update based on Mozilla Firefox 52.4 ESR.
