What do you like best about Tor?

Unless other browsers, tor doesn't just mask your IP or just clears the cache or history to provide privacy. Tor, routes the internet traffic from the client via the browser through a series of intermediary nodes which makes tracking your online activities difficult and gives you complete privacy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tor?

As it got lot of advantages towards the privacy but also got unlimited disadvantages whereas lot of illegal activities happens through this browser as the activists always remain masked which makes difficult for government also to track. As tor works based on the onion websites, lot of illegal data, hacked data, etc will be available everywhere. This is the best platform for black market dealings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tor solving and how is that benefiting you?

We group of developers in my company use this browser to secure our identity when working on lot of production work of a project. Also personally I use this browser to write anonymous blogs. Also, sometimes I use this browser as a VPN to mask my IP and to secure my privacy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tor offers a quick way to connect via different geographic locations and surf from those locations to test out web services that we host here in India.
