BLOCK TRACKERS
Tor Browser isolates each website you visit so third-party trackers and ads can’t follow you. Any cookies automatically clear when you’re done browsing.

DEFEND AGAINST SURVEILLANCE
Tor Browser prevents someone watching your connection from knowing what websites you visit. All anyone monitoring your browsing habits can see is that you’re using Tor.

RESIST FINGERPRINTING
Tor aims to make all users look the same, making it difficult for you to be fingerprinted based on your browser and device information.

MULTI-LAYERED ENCRYPTION
When you use Tor Browser for Android, your traffic is relayed and encrypted three times as it passes over the Tor network. The network is comprised of thousands of volunteer-run servers known as Tor relays. Watch this animation to learn more about how it works:

Amazing browser. It doesn't require you to sign in or use email, you just download and start browsing anonymously while being protected from websites that want to track/spy on you. So if you just want to browse the web without being tracked or hacked use this and use the safest browsing settings in the settings.

PROS: This app can work as a second VPN to hide your browsing IP while allowing you to use another VPN for a firewall. The safe browsing features are good. CONS: The app itself can be spotty. If you manage to get connected to the TOR network then you might randomly timeout and lose your connection. Now you will have to close the app and start over again. Browsing can be slow. Cloudflare verifications can be slow and a lot of sites use them. Wish: make it quicker to clear browser history.

Very easy to use, requires no set-up under normal circumstances putting it a step above the alternatives.This app offers great value for free and they definitely deserve your donations! I do have some occasional bugs and a few ideas, like rearranging tabs in the tab menu, as well as tab grouping like Chrome has. Also in the bookmarks menu, it allows you to select multiple bookmarks and then "Open in new tab". On standard Firefox this works, but on Tor it works roughly half the time. Cheers!
