Mozilla to offer anonymous browsing in Firefox via the Tor Project

tor firefox logo 590x330Most browsers have an option for private browsing (anonymous browsing) so that the user does not leave traces of the sites they have visited.

Mozilla, however , plans to develop private browsing in Firefox, using the code of Tor, the powerful network for anonymous browsing.

Tor (The Onion Router) is a system that gives its users the ability to be anonymous on the Internet.

It routes internet traffic through a global volunteer network of servers with the aim of hiding a user's location or traffic usage from anyone conducting online surveillance.

Tor of a user online by encryptingtheir data and essentially transmitting their information through thousands of random routes, making it more difficult to trace.

Tor may face its problems from time to time , but the anonymity it offers while browsing is better than the built-in functionality of browsers .

There is no official announcement, but in an interview, Andrew Lewman, CEO of the Tor project, stated that a Tor partnership is expected to begin with an internet company that owns 10% to 20% of users and according to the latest browser usage statistics, this is Mozilla.

In the Greek version of Firefox, Private Browsing is called Private Browsingand is activated with the combination Ctrl - Shift - P from the keyboard, in an already open browser window.
