You can use tor also for search, reading articles, and research topics that you don't want associated in any way with your traceable internet persona (no region, ip, etc) identifiers / telemetry.
There are lots of reasons to use tor that have nothing to do with illegal sites.
Anything that you want to really keep private and never creep back into your normal day-to-day browsing experience (considering divorce, medical conditions, future vacation plans, "taboo political ideologies", etc.).
Traveling to a foreign country with questionable privacy laws?
You can access normal search engines, websites, etc. Not just .onion sites. Just avoid logging into your personal accounts.
- floatboth 7y agoYou can use Tor for all everyday browsing too, with all the personal accounts and a normal version of Firefox. Still prevents your ISP from learning which sites you visit, still prevents the sites you visit from knowing your IP address, still circumvents any local censorship (which btw is probably the biggest use of Tor, thanks to RuTracker :D). And unlike a VPN provider, you don't have to pay $$$ and don't have a central point of potential logging (don't have to rely on "i swear we don't log" policies).
