Tor Browser official download
Official Tor Project download path selected, but the build-host curl request was reset. Keep this page in P1/P2 manual review until browser/domain confirmation is completed. AppVeriq Guide does not host installers or wrap downloads.
AppVeriq Guide does not store, modify, mirror, or redistribute installers. Confirm the official domain again in the new tab before downloading.
What is Tor Browser?
Tor Browser is a privacy-focused browser from The Tor Project designed to route browsing through the Tor network, reduce fingerprinting, and separate high-risk browsing from everyday browser profiles.
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, treat Tor Browser as a reviewed browsers & internet tool: confirm license coverage, account ownership, data retention, admin controls, update channel, and offboarding before broad deployment.
Best fit and limits
Good fit
- Daily web browsing and web-app compatibility
- Managed browser profiles and account sync

Consider another option when
- Installing many unknown extensions
- Mixing personal and work profiles without policy
Common uses
- Open web apps
- Manage bookmarks and passwords
- Separate profiles
- Install approved extensions
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
- Confirm you are on torproject.org before downloading; Tor Browser is frequently impersonated by privacy-themed ads and lookalike pages.
- Do not install random privacy extensions into Tor Browser; extra extensions can weaken the anti-fingerprinting model.
- For workplace use, confirm policy first because Tor network use may be restricted or logged differently by employers, schools, or managed networks.
- Review profile sync, extension permissions, managed policies, and certificate requirements before replacing a default browser.
- For privacy browsers, test SSO, enterprise portals, video meetings, and device management before rollout.
- Confirm the current license, plan, or commercial-use terms before installing on company-owned devices.
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.
