FWIW, I have been doing all of my non-multimedia browsing over Tor for about a decade now. It provides cover traffic for people who actually need the anonymity and I feel like it is a step in the right direction to frustrate state and corporate surveillance.
Some sites break, but I have observed less and less sites breaking compared to a few years ago. Also browsing is fast enough as to not be distracting, it is like being on a mobile internet connection all the time. It is still lousy to come across sites which don't serve even static content to Tor users. I can understand going into a read-only mode, but throwing an HTTP 403?

- bilegeek 6y agoOut of curiosity, since you log into accounts via Tor, are you still concerned about exit node snooping these days? Do you enable the strict mode in HTTPS Everywhere, or do you trust that site-enforced HTTPS is enough?
- IngoBlechschmid 6y agoNot the grandparent, but I've been doing the same (almost only for a couple of years) and yes I trust site-enforced HTTPS. To anyone who last tried Tor years ago: It really got quite fast. I don't notice a difference to my native connection.
- pamperson 6y agoand tell us, what kind of activity requires such anonymity?
- loa_in_ 6y agoAsking for opinions on pictures of one's private parts while avoiding someone connecting that to your identity. I mean asking "is that pimple on my scrotum an STD", not advertising them.
- pamperson 6y agogood example but few non technical people would even know about tor, i am sure there are better options that dont necessarily help criminals hide there tracks
