Version 8.0.6 of Tor Browser has been released. Tor stands for The Onion Router and is a network that can be used to surf the Internet fairly anonymously. All users’ tcp traffic is routed through different Tor routers, after which it is virtually impossible for the receiver to trace who the original sender was.
