About the App

Looking for a way to browse without feeling like you’re being watched every second? Tor Browser (Alpha) has your back. Developed by The Tor Project, it’s all about letting you surf the web with real privacy, no matter where you are. Whether you’re dodging annoying trackers or just want to check out blocked sites, this browser keeps things truly private and secure—no fuss, no complicated setups.

App Features

  • Serious Privacy
    Every website you visit is kept separate from the rest, which means advertisers and trackers can’t sneak up on you from site to site. No more feeling like you’re being followed around the internet.

  • Cookie Cleanup
    Once you’re done browsing, cookies and browsing data get wiped automatically. It’s like every session starts with a clean slate. Handy for anyone who’s tired of lingering trails online.

  • Protection from Prying Eyes
    No one peeking at your network will be able to see where you’re heading online. All they’ll notice is that you’re using Tor Browser (Alpha), but your actual browsing activity stays your business.

  • Fingerprint-Resistant Browsing
    The browser works hard to make everyone look the same online. It’s way tougher for anyone to profile you based on your browser or device details.

  • Layered Encryption
    Your internet traffic doesn’t just take a straight shot—it bounces through three Tor relays, multiplying your privacy with every hop. This setup makes tracking you down a real headache for snoopers.

  • Access Blocked Content
    Live somewhere with limited internet access? Tor Browser (Alpha) gives you a way to reach sites your ISP might have blocked. Explore the web without barriers.

  • Cross-Device Convenience
    Want a bigger screen for all this privacy? The app works great on desktops and laptops when you use BlueStacks, so you can keep your browsing private anywhere you like.

BlueStacks brings your apps to life on a bigger screen—seamless and straightforward.
