    I did have Tor Browser and it worked for a little bit for me.
    And then I would go to Open it and a Window would Tell me Tor Browser can not Connect to the Network.

    I would then Un Install it and Re Install it and Re do all of the Setttings again.
    Then it would work for me for a little bit again.

    Then say 5. Days after I would go back to Open it and it would Tell me Tor Browser can not Connect to the Network.

    So I Un Installed it and I am thinking of going to use Duck Duck Go as my Search Engine.

    And I See Duck Duck Go has a Browser for Tablets and SmartPhones.
    But do they have and for Windows?

    DuckDuckGo has a browser extension
    https://duckduckgo.com/app
    Notice how it says, Add DuckDuckGo to your mobile device or desktop browser.

    The first 6 words in their description sure make it sound like it's its own browser.. I don't have an android to check it out.

    "Our app provides standard browsing functionality including tabs, bookmarks and autocomplete. In addition to strong Privacy Protection as described above, we also packed in a Fire Button that allows you to clear all your tabs and data with one tap."

    Imandy Mann, you are correct. I didn't follow a link to googleplay. It looks like they've developed a browser for Android.
    I was using a browser in android: AdBlockPlus browser. Just like an addon/extension for any Windows browser, the folks behind AdBlockPlus decided to develop just a browser for android.

    It must be easier to write a browser for android that it is for Windows.

    Got me wishing for an Android now to try it out. I always did like duckduckgo. The wife has 2 phones but I don't know if she's into me messing with it. On her pc, she'd be good but the'phone' is different.

    Get yourself an android tablet. I own three. My husband grabs my tablet when he wants to take a picture. (He is on the Zoning Board and when he sees violations, he wants a picture of the problem.)

    My oldest tablet, an ASUS won't load so I'm going to try a factory reset. If it works, I'll give him the tablet for his picture taking. The android version is no longer supported but it would be good for picture taking and watching movies on a micro sd card.

    See #4 and #5 above. Try it if you have an Android device and let us know of the experience.
