Hey all, it's Rod here.
I'm on the hunt for a solid wallet for USDT-TRC20. A browser wallet would be cool, but it has to be compatible with Tor Browser. Since I use Tor, I’m all about lightweight options that are easy to install.
What do you guys recommend?

Pretty much all multicoin wallets support USDT on Tron. OKX (extension), Exodus (desktop), Trustwallet, and the list goes on. I have not tried it myself but given that Tor allows extensions to be installed... I don't see why wouldn't they function? Have you tried any of them?
If being a mobile wallet not a dealbreaker. You got Unstoppable wallet. You could easily toggle the option to connect through Tor from the Settings.
IIRC, Cake wallet also supports that and it's available on more platforms (Mobile, Windows & Linux).

I think you need a desktop wallet that you will connect Tor to just like Electrum? I do not know any wallet like that, but you can make use of the browser extension on Tor which has been suggested above but you can use Metamask. I can not recommend it and the ones suggested above but you can go for Cake or Unstoppable wallet.
Cake wallet has inbuilt Tor. Another wallet like this is Unstoppable wallet.
sorry i do not use mobile wallets, idk but i feel not very safe. i did check on tor metamask but it wasnt work properly.
cake wallet i did installed, i was just looking for more options like, i can renew wallet, is that possible on other wallets?
i did install metamask but i didnt work good in tor, idk why. balance wasnt loading good maybe could be connection issues.

What do you mean by renew the wallet? If you mean "restore" the wallet into other wallets then it's possible to do so yes.
To be honest, If you do care about security (as it sound like) it's probably best to invest into a hardware wallet like Trezor (Trezor suite support connecting through Tor)[1]
Correction for my previous post: Some extensions actually support only Chrome or chromium based browsers which Tor is not. so they may not all work.

Use the TronLink extension via Tor Browser (which is based on Firefox) by using Firefox Add-ons (Tor does not recommend adding extensions), or use Firefox with the settings set up a SOCKS 5 proxy on port 9150 or 9050 and ( about:config ) ( media.peerconnection.enabled to false )

i mean change wallet address everytime we receive fund, get a new clean wallet address.

EVM, Solana and Tron are different than Bitcoin (account-based vs UTXO-based). Wallets usually do allow you to get new addresses, but you basically need to create a new account. It's not automatically generated for you as soon as you receive funds as it is the case with bitcoin.
You mentioned many wallets.
You forgot to mention aqua wallet which is a very interesting bitcoin wallet that also supports USDT in many chains and lightning network.

Most of the wallets that are available on Firefox based browsers only support EVM chains, Solana, and sometimes Bitcoin. The Trezor Suite app has Tor built in, but it does not yet support Tron. It should be added later this year, if youre willing to wait. Your best option right now is Cake Wallet. Tron doesnt have change addresses like Bitcoin does. You will have to manually create a new wallet and transfer your funds to it if you want to use a new address after every transaction. This is kind of cumbersome and you will spend a lot in fees, so I wouldnt recommend switching addresses too frequently.
i got it, then it means i need to create everytime a new account.
thank you for that, i will look into it now.
update; site not loading on tor
thanks for reply i just thought that it can be good to always change address as a security way.

I'm using TronLink for quite some time. For USDT, they have a "gas free" wallet, so basically you don't have to do staking and stuff to enable sending, at the cost of $1 per transaction. It looks expensive, but the actual fees on the TRX network are often much higher: https://gasfeesnow.com/
It may work on Tor Browser, but keep in mind that it's basically a Firefox extension.
I don't use it on Tor Browser, but the user above said it works...
is this safe? should it be safe to keep money inside? i will try it on tor
update:
followed a link from another site for an extension or theme, that item is no longer available.
This add-on was removed from Firefox Add-ons Store on 2025-08-17

TronLink is a very well known wallet... but yeah, it looks like they have removed the extension. If you check the official website (and not the FAQ):
https://www.tronlink.org/dlDetails/
You can see that they only have an extension for Chrome and Edge browsers. Nothing for Firefox/Tor.
unfortunately i am not using chrome or edge browsers. I really liked tronlink i wish they had a firefox plugin. Anyways i will keep looking thanks for the update
