Tor Browser
Tor Project browser. Update JSON says 15.0.25.
Published by Tor Project Inc..
In short
Tor Browser is the desktop and Android browser from the Tor Project that routes traffic through Tor. On 21 Oct 2026 the download host at download.torproject.org offered Tor Browser for desktop and Android, and it linked Tails as a separate portable system. The release JSON at aus1.torproject.org reported version 15.0.25. The download HTML this client saved did not print that version. Research sandboxes is the nearest category. Tor Browser is a local anonymity browser, not a managed-attribution sandbox. It is also not Tails, which already has a page here.
Product pricing strategy
02
Free
The download page offers Tor Browser as a free download and says Tor does not sell your data. No dollar price was printed there on 21 Oct 2026. A donate link is on the page. A donation appeal is not a license fee, and this listing does not quote a suggested amount that was not in the saved HTML. Tails is linked as a separate portable system and is already listed. Tor VPN for Android beta is a different app on the same page. No price was printed for it either. The version 15.0.25 comes from the update JSON, not from a store receipt. If a third party sells a build, that price is theirs. It was not on the Tor Project page.
Utility and features
03
https://www.torproject.org/download/ redirected to https://download.torproject.org/ on 21 Oct 2026. That page titles Tor Browser for Desktop and Tor Browser for Android, and it also lists Tor VPN for Android beta and a link to Tails. The visible sentence says Tor Browser lets you surf the web without compromising your privacy or anonymity, and the footer names Tor Project Inc. The HTML saved from that page did not include a version number.
- JSON says 15.0.25. The release downloads JSON reported version 15.0.25. The download HTML did not print a version.
- Desktop and Android. download.torproject.org lists Tor Browser for desktop and for Android, plus a separate Tor VPN beta and a Tails link.
- No price on the page. The download page says Tor does not sell your data. It did not print a dollar amount.
The update manifest at https://aus1.torproject.org/torbrowser/update_3/release/downloads.json returned version 15.0.25 the same day. That JSON is the version this listing can quote. Mullvad Browser's GitHub release the same week is also tagged 15.0.25, and Mullvad's product page says its browser is a Tor Browser without the Tor network. Those are two products that share a version number. Do not merge them. Little-t tor, the page's name for the daemon without a bundled browser, is a third download. No dollar price was printed. No SPDX field was on the download HTML.
- 1
Quote 15.0.25 from the update JSON, and say the download HTML did not print that number.
- 2
Keep Tor Browser, Mullvad Browser, and Tails as three products even when two of them share 15.0.25.
- 3
Use the browser for traffic you are allowed to send. A Tor circuit is not permission to break a site's rules.
Caveats
04
Version 15.0.25 is the update JSON. The download HTML did not print it. Citing the JSON and citing the HTML are different acts. Mullvad Browser 15.0.25 is a different product that does not use the Tor network. Tails is a separate operating system the download page links out to.
Tor Browser sends application traffic through Tor. That is the product page's description of anonymity, and it is not a managed-attribution network, a false identity, or permission to ignore a site's rules. Research sandboxes is the nearest category because the directory has no privacy-browser category, and the fit is weak. Little-t tor is the daemon without the browser. Do not describe that daemon as Tor Browser. This listing did not open an Android package and does not quote a mobile version string.

Potential use cases
06
- A version note is about to come from the download HTML. On 21 Oct 2026 that HTML, after the redirect to download.torproject.org, did not print a version. The update JSON at aus1.torproject.org reported 15.0.25. Cite the JSON for the number and say the HTML omitted it. The page lists desktop and Android builds.
- Tor Browser, Mullvad Browser, and Tails are about to be described as one download. The download page links Tails as a separate portable system and lists Tor VPN for Android beta as another app. Mullvad's product page says its browser does not use the Tor network. Keep the three names, even where 15.0.25 appears twice.
- A Tor circuit is about to be briefed as a managed-attribution product. Research sandboxes is the nearest category because this directory has no separate privacy-browser category. The download page describes private browsing through Tor. It does not describe a vendor-operated attribution network, and it does not print a price.
Hard cases
The case where the first result is easy to over-read.
The HTML is cited for 15.0.25
The version string was in the update JSON. The download HTML this client saved did not contain it. A footnote that says the download page printed 15.0.25 invents a line. Cite the JSON, and cite the HTML for the product list.
Questions
