Download summary

Tor Browser is a web browser for Windows/macOS/Linux, published by Tor Project. A direct package URL is recorded below. The host may be the publisher, a release repository, a CDN, or another distribution source documented by the publisher. Some packages still fetch optional components during setup. The recorded publisher site is torproject.org. We do not host or modify installer files.

Choose a package

Windows portable destination or Linux extracted application

The Windows executable still uses a setup flow that asks for a destination. Choose a writable folder so the browser can update. On Linux, extract the x86_64 archive and use its start-tor-browser.desktop launcher as documented.

The Linux tarball is not a DEB/RPM installer. Moving the application to removable media does not remove downloads or operating-system traces, and these platform-specific flows were not executed in this audit.

Check first launch separately from network connection

After verifying the exact package and detached signature, distinguish whether the application opens from whether it connects to Tor. The first-launch screen offers Connect or connection configuration; saved automatic connection settings change later launches.

A successfully staged package is not a successful Tor connection. If connection fails, use the publisher's connection troubleshooting for the actual network conditions and record that result separately from installation.

Package guidance is based on the linked documentation. No installation test is claimed.

Download options

Recorded package links, store pages, and browser extensions where available.

Scroll the table sideways to compare packages and reach each download link.

Platform	Build	Architecture	Package	Action	Notes
Windows	Portable Tor Browser 15.0.20 Windows x86_64 portable	64-bit	EXE	Download file	The publisher desktop page links Windows 15.0.20 while its macOS/Linux links name 15.0.24 on 2026-10-11. Check the current selector and security notices before use. Writable destination and matching detached signature required.
macOS	DMG Tor Browser 15.0.24 macOS DMG	Not recorded	DMG	Download file	Versioned Tor Project package; detached .asc signature is in the same release directory
Linux	Linux archive Tor Browser 15.0.24 Linux x86_64 tarball	64-bit	TAR.XZ	Download file	Upstream archive rather than a distribution-native package; detached .asc signature is available
Android	Google Play Tor Browser on Google Play	Not applicable	Store	Open page	Official Google Play listing

Verification scope

A direct package URL is recorded above. We have not independently installed every listed build or confirmed that setup remains fully offline.

We do not host software files. Links may resolve to a publisher domain, its release repository, app store, CDN, or a documented distribution host — confirm the final hostname, publisher signature, version, and architecture before deployment. Recorded URLs last checked 11 October 2026; content last updated 11 October 2026.

What Tor Browser does

Tor Browser is an open-source browser from the Tor Project that routes supported browser traffic through the Tor network. A destination generally sees a Tor exit relay rather than the user's direct address, but this is not an anonymity guarantee. Accounts, browser changes, downloaded or opened files, other applications, endpoint compromise, traffic correlation, and user behavior can disclose identity or activity. Installing extensions or changing anti-fingerprinting defaults can also make a browser more distinguishable.

On October 11, 2026, the publisher desktop page linked Windows x86_64 portable 15.0.20 and macOS/Linux x86_64 15.0.24. This record preserves those platform-specific identities; the version badge refers to macOS/Linux, not a claim that every package has the same version. Check the publisher selector and security notices before a new deployment. The current publisher download page links each package and its detached.asc signature. This record does not provide a locally verified hash or signature result. The Tor Project verification guide identifies signing-key fingerprint EF6E286DDA85EA2A4BA7DE684E2C6E8793298290; users must obtain and verify the key and signature themselves. This audit did not perform that verification or run the packages.

The Windows item is explicitly the portable build, the macOS item is a DMG, and the Linux item is an upstream tarball rather than a distribution package. Tor connectivity is required to browse, reach onion services, obtain updates, and refresh network information. Session data clearing does not remove downloaded files, bookmarks, operating-system traces, malware, or activity outside Tor Browser. Consult the Tor Browser Manual and support documentation for the current threat model before high-risk use.

Try a practical task

Check a Tor connection before a browsing session

Confirm which browser is using Tor before opening a public site. This exercise checks the browser connection, not the anonymity of every application on the computer.

Before you start

Use Tor Browser from the Tor Project and a working internet connection.
Avoid personal logins during the connection check.

Connect in Tor Browser

Start the browser and use its connection screen. If your network blocks Tor, follow the Tor Project’s connection-assist or bridge instructions.
Open the check page

In Tor Browser itself, visit https://check.torproject.org/ and read the connection result.
Check a public page

Open a public reference in the same browser. Expect some sites to challenge or restrict Tor exit traffic.
Keep the scope clear

Treat downloads opened in external applications and other browsers as separate network paths. Close the session when finished.

Expected result

The Tor check page reports whether this browser request travelled through Tor.

If the result is different

The browser cannot connect: Use the documented connection-assist flow and check the system clock; do not substitute an unknown proxy from a search result.
A site keeps presenting challenges: The site may restrict shared exit addresses. Do not assume that repeated challenges mean the installation is defective.

Tor Browser does not route all computer traffic. Personal logins, browser modifications and external document handlers can reveal information despite a successful connection check.

Product features

Routes supported browser traffic through Tor; anonymity still depends on behavior and threat model
Built on Firefox ESR with Tor Project privacy and anti-fingerprinting defaults
Bundled NoScript and HTTPS-first connections
Clears session browsing data on close; downloaded files and OS-level records may remain
Access to.onion services not reachable on the regular web

Installation notes

Grouped by the package types recorded on this page — not a claim that every listed build was independently tested on every supported platform.

Windows Windows installer (EXE)

1
Download the recorded file (tor-browser-windows-x86_64-portable-15.0.20.exe). If it has a digital signature, inspect the signer and validation result in Properties → Digital Signatures. If no signature is present, follow the publisher's documented verification method; a missing signature does not authenticate the file.
2
Check any Windows warning before proceeding. A SmartScreen reputation warning is not signature verification; stop if the publisher is unexpected or the file is reported as malicious.
3
Follow the publisher's setup prompts to finish; options vary by release, so review each screen rather than clicking through.

macOS macOS disk image (DMG)

1
Open the disk image and follow the publisher's instructions for its contents. It may contain an app to copy to Applications or a separate installer.
2
Check first-launch security prompts. For damaged, revoked, or unverified software, stop and check the publisher's current package and Apple's guidance before proceeding.

Linux Linux binary archive

1
Extract the recorded file (tor-browser-linux-x86_64-15.0.24.tar.xz) to a separate directory. This record identifies an application binary bundle; check the required system libraries and architecture before launch.
2
Use the publisher's launcher and update instructions. Extracting a tarball alone does not register a distribution package; the application may still have its own updater or desktop integration.
