Torch was a Chromium-based web browser and Internet suite developed by the North Carolina–based Torch Media.[3] As of November 2022, downloads for Torch are no longer available, and upon clicking the download button, users are redirected to the Torch Search extension on the Chrome Web Store.

The browser handles common Internet-related tasks such as displaying websites, sharing websites via social networks, downloading torrents, accelerating downloads and grabbing online media, all directly from the browser.[4] Torch Browser is commercial freeware.[5]

Torch is based on the Chromium source code[6] and is compatible with all add-ons and extensions available in the Chrome store. On June 18, 2013, Torch announced that it had surpassed ten million active users.[7]

Torrent site The Pirate Bay has run paid endorsements for Torch on their website.[8]
