Current browsers offer us a series of key utilities and functions for the performance of activities, but they have problems directly related to the privacy and security of user data and records. This is because some browsers use IP address tracking systems and, based on the sites we browse, they send us suggestions..
To prevent this, the Tor browser has been developed as a browser that takes users' security very seriously. This is achieved since Tor internally creates a set of virtual tunnels for the transfer of information but does not establish a direct connection with the public network, which is where the most threats abound.
If you are interested in using Tor on Ubuntu 21.04, TechnoWikis is here to give you the steps to use a much more secure browser..
