Switching from Tor

Aekant vs Tor Browser

Tor Browser asks you to trade speed and everyday convenience for privacy. Aekant doesn’t: ads and trackers blocked, a new fingerprint on every page and isolated containers — at full speed, with Tor-powered private windows coming soon.

About the Tor column.

Tor Browser routes traffic through the Tor network and makes every user’s fingerprint look the same, so individuals blend into the crowd. It is built for anonymity in high-risk situations. The Tor column above is based on these vendor sources.

Default desktop features as documented by the vendor in October 2026. Not a benchmark or security certification.
