This question was last answered 6 years ago: Anonymous Internet browsing.

What has changed? Tor website suggests not using Tor for Ubuntu. I'm running a 16.04 LTE. Is there any way to browse the internet anonymously for free? Are PrivateBrowser and Anonymox any good?

Tor provides pre compiled, pre configured packages "Tor Browser"

https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en

The TOR project believes they can maintain the "Tor Browser" faster than distributions and do so directly.

Either use the ppa - https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/ubuntu/tor-browser

or download the bundle directly , there are linux specific , distro independent instructions on the download page

Linux Instructions

Download the architecture-appropriate file above, save it somewhere, then run one of the following two commands to extract the package archive:

tar -xvJf tor-browser-linux32-7.0.8_LANG.tar.xz

or (for the 64-bit version):

tar -xvJf tor-browser-linux64-7.0.8_LANG.tar.xz

(where LANG is the language listed in the filename).

Once that's done, switch to the Tor browser directory by running:

cd tor-browser_LANG

(where LANG is the language listed in the filename).

To run Tor Browser, click either on the Tor Browser or the Tor Browser Setup icon or execute the start-tor-browser.desktop file in a terminal:

./start-tor-browser.desktop

This will launch Tor Launcher and once that connects to Tor, it will launch Firefox. Do not unpack or run TBB as root.
