Open in Tor Browser

Open current page or link in tor browser for better privacy

Install Compare

The Open in Tor Browser Chrome extension allows users to open the current tab or any link directly in the Tor Browser, known for its strong privacy protections. This eliminates the need to manually copy and paste URLs, streamlining secure browsing workflows.

When the Tor Browser is running, links open in a new tab instantly. If not, the extension will launch a new Tor Browser window (initial connection may take a couple of minutes). The extension requires installing a minimal native client, with step-by-step video tutorials available for Windows, Linux, and Mac users. Bug reports and FAQs are easily accessible for user support.

Doesn't support flatpak, something Tor Browser users usually use to harden Firefox.
