Tor stands for The Onion Routing. Onion routing means that when you connect to the internet, all your internet traffic is routed through multiple servers along with being encrypted at each step. So, the uniqueness of the Tor browser is that it offers privacy and its code is free and open-source.

In this age, when almost the whole world is connected online, there are also the problems of online tracking, censorship, and surveillance which can be real hurdles for those who do not want their identities to be revealed online or want to have censor-free internet access. For them, the Tor browser can act as a savior. Using the Tor browser, one can connect to the internet anonymously. Even if someone tries to monitor the internet traffic of a Tor browser user, they will only be able to see that you are using Tor.
