These tools provide a private **internet browsing** experience by limiting the amount of tracking by ad networks across different sites.

Consider using multiple browsers for different use cases, as each of them provide different tools to thwart surveillance and data collection, including but not limited to anti-fingerprinting protections, content blocking, etc.

## Anonymous Browsing

**Tor Browser** (Desktop and Android) is the top choice if you need anonymity, as it provides you with access to the **Tor** network, a group of volunteer-operated servers that allows you to connect for free and improve your privacy and security on the Internet. Individuals and organizations can also share information over the Tor network with ".onion hidden services" without compromising their privacy. Because Tor traffic is difficult to block and trace, Tor is an effective censorship circumvention tool.

    ---

    **Firefox** is a great Chromium alternative which provides strong privacy settings such as [Enhanced Tracking Protection](https://support.mozilla.org/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop), which can help block various [types of tracking](https://support.mozilla.org/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop#w_what-enhanced-tracking-protection-blocks).

- ![Brave logo](../assets/img/browsers/brave.svg){ .lg .middle .twemoji } **Brave Browser**

    ---

    **Brave** is a private-by-default browser based on Chromium, so it should feel familiar and have minimal website compatibility issues.

- ![Cromite logo](../assets/img/browsers/cromite.svg){ .lg .middle .twemoji } **Cromite (Android)**

    ---

    **Cromite** is a Chromium-based Android browser with built-in ad-blocking and [privacy enhancements](https://github.com/uazo/cromite/blob/master/docs/FEATURES.md). It is a fork of the popular, now-discontinued Bromite browser.

- ![Safari logo](../assets/img/browsers/safari.svg){ .lg .middle .twemoji } **Safari (iOS)**

    ---

    We recommend **Safari** due to its [anti-fingerprinting](https://webkit.org/blog/15697/private-browsing-2-0) features and default tracker blocking. It also separates your cookies in private browsing mode to prevent tracking between tabs.
