Allow me to send a big shoutout and my deepest thanks to the maintainers and volunteers of both the Tor Browser and the Tor Project in general. You make the world a better place, even if the majority of the population don't realise they should pay more attention to your work. You're the real MVPs!

more people ought to use TOR so that the users who _need_ tor gets the protection of anonymity in a crowd. If nobody uses TOR, then TOR users immediately becomes suspicious and nothing prevents the real world investigation from uncovering them.

  Nitpick, but it’s Tor not TOR

  I make everybody smile when I open Tor to watch some technical documentation. Still gave my boss a pause when I asked him if we were ever going to consider Google a competitor in any field (which we were in a niche field) and if he would be comfortable with a competitor owning the search history of all his employees.

  Aren't large internet providers blocking TOR from working or am I confusing that with something else security related being prevented?

> You make the world a better place Do they? As far as I can tell, it's the world's premier human rights violation software, and the internet's child pornography backbone. Yeah, I'm aware of the official narrative of providing a shield for journalists from government snooping and so forth, that everyone blindly repeats. But I'm not drinking the kool aid. They really showed their true colors when they felt it necessary to publish a statement that they regretted that their software was used to distribute an obscure Nazi magazine. So much for their high ideals about freedom of speech. Apparently, the child abuse and cartel violence they facilitate is just collateral damage, but someone expressing extreme ideas was a little too much.
