Tor Browser, which is actually a modified version of Firefox, essentially anonymizes the origin of Web
traffic by
encrypting communications inside the Tor network.
Even if you
encrypt the data payload of your

(On the other hand, there's still an information leakage from the volume and timing of
communications, like inferring that two people are communicating with one another in real time because their
traffic flows are correlated, or figuring out what page someone's reading on a site from that total volume of
encrypted traffic downloaded.)
The security weakness potentially allows a sinister agent, within range of the network, to hijack
traffic and view any sensitive
communication that is not
encrypted.
