The process of retrieving files using the Tor Browser is fundamentally the same as with any conventional browser, but it operates with increased privacy measures. This involves navigating to a webpage containing a desired file and initiating the download through standard browser controls, such as clicking a download link or right-clicking an image and selecting “Save Image As.”
Utilizing the Tor network offers enhanced anonymity during file retrieval. This is particularly useful for individuals seeking to protect their identity when accessing content, whether for circumventing censorship, accessing information from privacy-sensitive sources, or simply maintaining a low online profile. The Tor network’s layered encryption and routing make it more difficult to trace the source of the download request.
