Tor Browser is an open source project, launched in 2002, designed to increase the anonymity of your activities on the Internet by not sharing your identifying information such as your IP address and physical location with websites and your service providers. Browsing and data exchange over a network is made through encrypted connections between computers.
The social network just created a special URL – https://facebookcorewwwi.onion – that will allow users running Tor-enabled browsers to connect Facebook’s Core WWW Infrastructure. Hidden services accessed through the Tor network allow both the Web user and website to remain anonymous. Do note that the Tor link will only work on Tor-enabled browsers.
"Facebook’s onion address provides a way to access Facebook through Tor without losing the cryptographic protections provided by the Tor cloud," Alec Muffett, a software engineer with Facebook’s security infrastructure group, said in a blog post. "It provides end-to-end communication, from your browser directly into a Facebook datacenter."
Facebook has previously been criticised by Tor users as the company’s security features treated Tor as a botnet — a collection of computers designed to attack the site. Users were able to access their Facebook account before today, but it often loaded irregularly with incorrectly displayed fonts and sometimes didn't load at all.
That's all enjoy using facebook from Tor Network ;)
