This means each Tor Browser user looks like every other Tor Browser user, making it difficult to track any individual user. Tor Browser is specifically engineered to have a nearly identical (we're not perfect!) fingerprint across its users. Most browsers inadvertently create a unique fingerprint for each user which can be tracked across the internet. If your copy of Tor Browser has a unique fingerprint, your browsing activities can be deanonymized and tracked even though you are using Tor Browser.īasically, each browser's settings and features create what is called a "browser fingerprint". Installing new add-ons may affect Tor Browser in unforeseen ways and potentially make your Tor Browser fingerprint unique. It's strongly discouraged to install new add-ons in Tor Browser, because they can compromise your privacy and security.
