The first browser where Tor isn't a mode you enable — it's a layer that's always there. Onion sites load instantly. Clearnet stays fast. You decide which path every site takes.
Tor connects in the background the moment you launch. No waiting, no toggles, no separate window. .onion sites feel like regular sites.
avg circuit time: <200msClearnet traffic stays on clearnet. Tor traffic goes through Tor. Every site gets the path it needs — automatically, without slowing anything down.
zero config neededForce any site through Tor — even if it's not an onion address. Privacy policies per domain. Set once, enforced forever.
regex supportBuilt on Firefox's hardened engine. Fingerprint resistance. First-party isolation. No telemetry. No compromises between security and usability.
zen + tor + hardeningPrivacy browsers don't have to look like they're from 2009. Matrix Browser ships with a dark, minimal design language that respects your eyes and your screen.
design is securityFull compatibility with Firefox add-ons. uBlock Origin, Bitwarden, Dark Reader — whatever you need. Privacy doesn't mean giving up your tools.
full webstore access
Tor Browser makes you wait. You open it, stare at a connection screen, then browse everything through a slow proxy.
Matrix Browser connects Tor in the background before you even type a URL. When you hit an onion address, the circuit is already ready. When you browse clearnet, you're on your normal connection. No friction. No compromise.
All your apps. All your tabs. None of the surveillance.
"Tor is for criminals"
Tor is used by journalists, activists, whistleblowers, and millions of normal people who just don't want their ISP selling their browsing history. Matrix Browser makes Tor invisible — you use the same browser for everything.
"It's slow"
Only when you're on Tor. Clearnet traffic goes through your normal connection — just as fast as Chrome or Firefox. Tor is a lane, not a bottleneck.
"I don't need privacy"
Privacy isn't about hiding. It's about choosing what you share. Matrix Browser gives you the option — Tor when you want it, direct when you don't. No philosophy lesson required.
On launch, Matrix spins up an optimized Tor process in the background. No splash screen, no loading bar — it just happens.
Every URL you visit is checked against your rules. .onion? Tor. Whitelisted clearnet site? Tor. Everything else? Direct connection.
Right-click any tab, select "Route via Tor always" — done. Your rule is saved. That site will forever use Tor, even across restarts.
