These differences vary from site to site.
Are there any down-sides to using Tor?īecause Tor connections have to go through several relays between you and the site, they're normally a little bit slower than a direct connection to the website.īecause Tor makes it really difficult to tell different people apart, some sites treat people connecting over Tor differently from people who make direct connections. By the time your connection has been through three Tor relays, it's hopelessly muddled, and it would be quite a feat to guess whose connections are which. Instead, they see a connection from one of the relays in the Tor network.īecause each relay sends and receives connections from lots of different people, even someone watching a relay wouldn't be able to tell which incoming connections and outgoing connections line up.
Likewise, the sites you visit no longer see connections directly from your computer. Instead, they see encrypted connections to a few of the relays in the Tor network. Replies from the site are sent back along this chain.Īnyone monitoring your Internet connection no longer sees messages heading towards the sites you're visiting. You connect to one relay, which connects to another, which connects to a third, which connects to the site you're visiting. With Tor, connections are instead sent through three intermediaries from among the thousands of relays in the Tor network. Normally when you browse the web, your computer sends requests directly to the computer operating the website you're visiting, which replies straight back to you. Tor is a system which enables anonymous communication online. Sites don't learn your IP address or location - combined with Brave's existing defenses against tracking, this makes it very difficult for a site to guess who you might be, or even tell you apart from other people using Private Tabs Using Tor in Brave. With Tor, Private Tabs ensures that someone who's watching your Internet connection (like an employer, ISP, or coffee-shop owner) can't see which sites you're visiting. Unlike other browsers, Brave also works to protect you from your ISP or the sites you're visiting. Brave never saves your browsing history (or cookies or other traces) in Private Tabs - much like private browsing modes in other browsers. Brave always works to protect your privacy by blocking most of the ways you can be tracked on the Web.
