If you're looking for a specific solution to something, these are the hardware and software tools we recommend in a variety of categories. Our recommended privacy tools are primarily chosen based on security features, with additional emphasis on decentralized and open-source tools. They are applicable to a variety of threat models ranging from protection against global mass surveillance programs and avoiding big tech companies to mitigating attacks, but only you can determine what will work best for your needs.

**Tor Browser** (Desktop & Android) is the top choice if you need anonymity, as it provides you with access to the **Tor** network, a group of volunteer-operated servers that allows you to connect for free and improve your privacy and security on the Internet. Individuals and organizations can also share information over the Tor network with ".onion hidden services" without compromising their privacy. Because Tor traffic is difficult to block and trace, Tor is an effective censorship circumvention tool.

We recommend **Safari** alongside a tracker-blocker like [AdGuard](browser-extensions.md#adguard) on iOS, because all iOS browsers are forced to be based on Safari anyways. This reduces the number of parties you're required to trust.
