Tor Browser official download path
Verified on 2026-05-20 from torproject.org or a vendor-controlled route. AppVeriq Guide does not host installers, mirror files, or wrap downloads; it records the official path and practical checks to complete before downloading.
AppVeriq Guide does not store, modify, mirror, or redistribute installers, and does not host installer files. Confirm the official domain is torproject.org or another vendor-controlled path in the new tab before downloading.
What is Tor Browser?
Tor Browser is an official software/service entry from The Tor Project in the Browsers & Internet category. AppVeriq Guide points readers to the vendor or project-controlled route, then separates download safety, licensing, business-use limits, account/data handling, and update-channel cautions before installation.
This AppVeriq Guide page does not distribute installers. It is an independent guide to the official download path, pre-installation checks, common use cases, and safer alternatives.
Pricing and delivery model
Free and open source
The source is available and free use is the core model. For business use, still check the license text and bundled components.
Installable app
This is installed on a desktop or mobile device. Check the source, update channel, and license scope before installing.
Workplace use: For workplace use, confirm whether Tor Browser is allowed by your organization, whether the selected free, trial, subscription, open-source, store, or web-service terms cover business use, which account owns the installation or service data, and how updates, offboarding, exports, and support are handled.

First setup checklist
- Download from the official browser page or managed enterprise channel.
- Choose whether to sign in and sync profiles.
- Review default browser and extension settings.
- Install only extensions from official stores and trusted publishers.
Before installing
- Start from torproject.org or a clearly linked official store/release page; avoid search ads, mirrors, repackaged installers, and download pages that hide the publisher.
- Check whether you are installing a stable release, beta/nightly build, archived project, web app, store app, or enterprise-managed package before rolling it out to work devices.
- Review the license and plan wording: free open source app or service; review official license, subscription, and business-use terms. Personal, education, trial, subscription, open-source, and team terms can differ.
- If the app connects to cloud storage, browsers, extensions, source code, passwords, meetings, VPN traffic, media files, or customer data, review account ownership, retention, export, and offboarding rules.
- Keep OS updates, browser updates, and the app update channel under the same policy; do not mix unofficial patches or third-party updater bundles.
Practical tips
- Before clicking Download, confirm that the path starts from torproject.org or another vendor/project-controlled destination linked from it.
- Keep one clean backup browser for troubleshooting.
- Review extensions regularly because browser permissions can be broader than they look.
