[Edit addition] Tor Browser has become nearly impossible to use because it is abused by so many email spammers, nearly every attempt to use it is greeted with a site "blacklisted" message. It might be best for those who can afford it, and desire Internet anonymity, to bite the bullet and pay $39.95 per year for
PrivateInternetAccess.com https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/buy-vpn/Far better than just a browser like Tor (that you could forget to launch each time you go to a browser), PIA sends everything through a proxy, from browsing the Web on any browser you choose, to email sending. They have an impressive client list including Kiplinger, PC World, Forbes, Yahoo, AT&T, Wired, CBS News and more. Particularly useful for protecting devices that are using public internet access, from getting hacked or otherwise ID compromised. Also for browsing in areas that have geographic restriction to portions of the Internet.
https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/buy-vpn/ Unlike other proxy services, they do not keep logs of user browsing for 90 days or even 30 days. They do not keep any such logs.
I can personally vouch for PrivateInternetAccess.com. It is very easy to use and to set up and is always running. If you make a selection for it to launch on startup, it is turned on every time you restart your computer. It is comforting to know I cannot be hacked, or tracked and then harassed by annoying sidebar ads based on the content of my searches. With two clicks of a mouse I can change to one of dozens of different server locations.

To our Muslim friends and could-become brethren, to help prevent Godless reprobate Islamic nationstates from blocking access to truth, or tracking citizen's internet browsing that could even eventually result in state sponsored murder for "
apostasy" or "

"Tor was originally designed, implemented, and deployed as a third-generation onion routing project of the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory. It was originally developed with the U.S. Navy in mind, for the primary purpose of protecting government communications. Today, it is used every day for a wide variety of purposes by normal people, the military, journalists, law enforcement officers, activists, and many others."

Who is paying for bandwidth to keep all those servers up and running?), but it likely isn't followers of Muhammad behind it.
