Tor Browser because anonymity can slow down your browsing, however, so here we’ve put together a bunch of tips to help speed you back up again.
1. Check tor browser for the latest updates, Go to -settings then scroll down to find a check for updates.
2. Use Bridge Relays, again settings – bridges, you can request a bridge or use the options it has.
3. Another option is to use a new Tor circuit for this site.
This is how to speed up tor
What is Tor Browser?
Tor, short for The Onion Router, is free and open-source software for enabling anonymous communication.
It directs Internet traffic through a free, worldwide, volunteer overlay network,
consisting of more than six thousand relays, to conceal a user’s location and usage from anyone performing network surveillance or traffic analysis.
Using Tor makes it more difficult to trace a user’s Internet activity.
Tor’s intended use is to protect the personal privacy of its users, as well as their freedom and ability to communicate confidentially through IP address anonymity using Tor exit nodes.
History of Tor Browser
The core principle of Tor, onion routing, was developed in the mid-1990s by the United States
Naval Research Laboratory employees, mathematician Paul Syverson, and computer scientists
Michael G. Reed and David Goldschlag, to protect American intelligence communications online.
Onion routing is implemented by means of encryption in the application layer of the communication protocol stack,
nested like the layers of an onion. The alpha version of Tor, developed by Syverson and computer scientists
Roger Dingledine and Nick Mathewson and then called The Onion Routing project
(which later simply became “Tor”, as an acronym for the former name), was launched on 20 September 2002.
The first public release occurred a year later.
In 2004, the Naval Research Laboratory released the code for Tor under a free license,
and the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) began funding Dingledine and Mathewson to continue its development.
In 2006, Dingledine, Mathewson, and five others founded The Tor Project,
a Massachusetts-based 501(c) research-education nonprofit organization responsible for maintaining Tor.
The EFF acted as The Tor Project’s fiscal sponsor in its early years, and early financial supporters of The Tor Project included the U.S. Bureau of Democracy,
Human Rights, and Labor and International Broadcasting Bureau, Internews, Human Rights Watch, the University of Cambridge, Google, and Netherlands-based Stichting NLnet.
A cartogram illustrating Tor usage
Over the course of its existence, various Tor attacks and weaknesses have been discovered and occasionally used.
Attacks against Tor are an active area of academic research that is welcomed by the Tor Project itself.
