Tor browser is a popular application that lets users browse the web and access social media sites without being monitored or blocked by the internet service provider. The latest version of the Tor browser (version 11.5) has a new feature called Bridges, which makes it easier to hide the fact that you are using the Tor network. Even if your ISP blocked the Tor network, you could anonymously browse the internet.
Here is how to use the Bridges feature of the Tor browser to access the internet secretly. The Bridges option lets you connect to the Tor network even if your internet provider blocked it. After enabling this feature and when you are trying to access a blocked website, your ISP will not identify it.
