Tor Browser
The Tor Browser lets you use Tor on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux
without needing to install any software. It can run off a USB flash drive,
comes with a pre-configured web browser to protect your anonymity, and
is self-contained.

language and click OK (2). Make sure you have at least 80MB of free disk space in the location you select. If you want to

computer or limit the traces you leave behind, save it to a USB disk.

Remember that Tor anonymizes the origin of your traffic, and it encrypts everything inside the Tor network, but it can't
encrypt your traffic between the Tor network and its final destination. If you are communicating sensitive information, you
should use as much care as you would on the normal scary Internet use HTTPS or other end-to-end encryption and
authentication.

How can I make my own bundle?
We use Gitian to ensure that byte-for-byte reproducible packages can be built from our source repository by anyone.
To rebuild the bundle, check out the Tor Browser builder repository and see the README.build for instructions. You
may also find the Tor Browser Hacking intro document useful for learning about the build system and our development
processes.
