the onion router (tor) browser

the tor browser is a tool for accessing the tor network, created with the purpose to bring the most anonymity possible. it's a fork of the mozilla firefox browser, includes pre-made blocking settings for you! just go to the privacy settings and select a security level (standard, safer and safest)

recommendation

if you want the best anonymity possible, just use the tor browser, and DO NOT CHANGE ANY SETTING AT ALL. only the security levels! it will make you more noticeable if you do!

winget installation method:
winget install TorProject.TorBrowser

mullvad browser

surged due to a tor and mullvad collaboration. they also have their own search engine
it was made to be used with mullvadvpn. it also has a good fingerprinting protection! it also includes the tor security levels, the tor warning also applies for this browser, do NOT change any settings at all!!
since you already have a good fingerprinting protection, it's recommended to use the mullvadvpn, since it makes you blend in with the other users!!
also comes with DoH pre-installed, also ublock but who cares!??!?!!

winget installation method:
none found
