Orbot works excellent with the new Tor browser. Tor is a great app to surf websites, but you’ll not be able to enjoy YouTube/DailyMotion videos in HD or FHD quality. Browsing speedĪs Tor relays network traffic across various countries, you’ll experience a drop in internet speed. You can change the default search service provider in the Tor app. DDG is one of the few search engines that doesn’t track you or your online activities. Tor Browser’s default search engine is DuckDuckGo. In addition to the above two plugins, you can beef up your online security/privacy by turning on the Firefox browser’s inbuilt security features such as Tracking Protection, Master password, Send Do not track requests, etc. To see your search history, open the 3rd tab. The “bookmarks” section displays a list of websites/pages you’ve saved for later browsing. The 1st tab allows you to see the websites you’ve visited the most. Tor will display a search box and a tabbed interface with three tabs – top sites, bookmarks, and history when you’re not browsing a website. In case you’re not happy with the performance of the current node/server, you can change the server by tapping the “refresh” button on Orbot’s notification interface. In the 1st mode, the application automatically chooses the node closest to your location or a node that is not overloaded with too many connection requests. Orbot supports two modes – Normal and VPN. As in VPN apps, you can select a location manually in the Orbot app. Then, you must start the Orbot proxy service. The Tor browser app’s size is 32 megabytes. To use it, you must install the Orbot proxy app.
