Onion Buddy

If you were to Google "anonymous browsing," there's a good chance that Tor - The Onion Router, alongside the infamous Tor Browser, would be somewhere in the top ten results.

Basically, the previously mentioned browser redirects all your Internet traffic through the Tor Network thus allowing you to browse anonymously, knowing that the signal can't be traced back to you, well, at least in theory.

Anyway, if Tor Browser's looks or functionality are not exactly to your liking, then Onion Buddy might just be the perfect solution for you. In just a few words, this nifty and unconscious app acts as a proxy on a system-wide level for your computer, meaning you can basically use any of your favorite Internet browsers in order to take advantage of the "onion-layered" network.

If everything already sounds too complicated, fear not, it may find it to be even easier to use than the actual Tor Browser. You just need to download the app, run its installer (which takes care of everything without any type of intervention on your part) and launch the app from its location or via its automatically generated desktop icon.

Once started, head straight over to the Connectivity section in order to make sure that Onion Buddy has all bases covered, namely if the Google, DragonFruit Network, and Tor Service are all up and running. To activate Tor, just click the Toggle Tor button from the upper part of the app's simplistic main window. After a small delay, you should be met by a confirmation screen in your default web browser stating that "You are now online with Tor!".

Considering everything that's been said, Onion Buddy is a very interesting utility and also the perfect companion for users who like the concept behind Tor, but are not exactly keen on using their bespoke, Mozilla-based browser to get the job done.
