I have TOR and my observations are...
  • The browser is a modified version of Firefox.
  • There are three levels of hiding your identity. At the highest level few commercial sites will run because they use identifiable technologies such as JavaScript (which is deactivated at the higher security levels).
  • If you are going to put up. With TOR’s speed and other limitations, there is not much point in NOT using the highest security setting.
  • Onion routing drastically slows response times
  • If I were dealing with information with the potential for serious or grave harm to national security I would definitely use TOR.
  • TORs limitations and speed make it impractical, annoying, if not unusable for day to day use unless you are in a hostile regime.

If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
