What do you like best about Tor?

This product enables us to stay unknown somewhat with every one of its highlights that represent altering diverse security level parameters, enables you to arrange the intermediary, control the landmasses and hop the firewall, and change between various dimensions of security that are Standard, Safe and Very Secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tor?

The main thing I could state is that it is unknown somewhat in such a case that you do certain illicit developments, the specialists could be tailing you as it is programming made by the Navy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Tor:

I suggest downloading it and testing it in the event that you need to surf all the more secretly, just as having a ton of personalization time since this program is prepared for this area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Because of this application we normally play out every one of the developments inside the Deep Web to be progressively unknown and to work increasingly verify. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Tor?

The track is an excellent browser for anonymous web browsing. The main advantage of TOR is the fact that all the traffic we make while surfing the web is directed by several servers, which makes it impossible to track our traffic. Another big advantage of TOR browser is that it is available completely free of charge, so we can save on the purchase of VPN, which will allow us to browse the web anonymously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tor?

New users may have a problem with the use of the TOR browser, and some pages may load for a very long time due to the redirection of traffic through the servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Tor:

If you want to browse the Internet safely or bypass the regional blockade, you should consider trying out the TOR browser, all the more so as it is available completely free of charge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Using the TOR browser, I can bypass the regional blockade and browse the pages without worrying about leakage of essential data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Tor?

Functionality to protect your online privacy is solid. Tor network consists of countless relay points that transmit your data along with added layers of encryption. The ‘onion’ in the project’s name represents these multiple ‘peels’ of encryption: https://medium.com/@kameleo/top-3-software-tools-to-create-multiple-accounts-on-social-networks-4619bc52348e

I have not encountered any problems with my privacy during my user experience. The solution is also free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tor?

The user functionality lags. The connection is much slower, you have to wait a few seconds before all packages are delivered and the page is fully uploaded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

First of all, I used Tor to create multiple accounts on various social platforms like Fb, LinkedIn, Reddit, etc. It suits those purposes, but it does not have any automation. You have to relaunch Tor browser for each login, and there is no possibility to disable Selenium Driver, so you will face captchas often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tor?

The only thing I could say is that it is anonymous to a certain extent since if you engage in certain illegal activities, the authorities could be tracking you because it is software created by the Navy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Tor:

I recommend downloading it and trying it if you want to browse more anonymously, plus it has a lot of customization time since this browser is prepared for this aspect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Thanks to this application, we usually carry out all movements within the Deep Web to be more anonymous and work more securely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Tor?

I enjoy the ability to keep my IP address hidden from potentially harmful websites. It allows the ability to mask all types of things within the browser. It also allows a way to step around administrative blocks placed on a network. This can be useful if you're in a company that thinks specific websites are malicious or detrimental to network security. The ability of layered protection can still keep the network safe and intact. I like the ability to select specific extra protections for certain avenues as well. I also like the tooltips it gives in the program. These allow you to realize certain sites can do specific things if they can get you to maximize your window, or to click on specific links within their sites. The extensions are extremely useful to have installed as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tor?

The program can tend to be sluggish if you have multiple avenues opened within it. I dislike the load time as well, even though it is necessary to layer yourself in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Tor:

Grab the extensions within the program. These extensions can give you an extra layer of protection as well as helping you stay more involved in what is happening within your Tor browser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It can allow a dynamic way of approaching potential customers in the web. I've realized the benefit of extreme network protection and integrity within this program. It is uncompromising when you chose to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Tor?

the privacy is great and necessary these days Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tor?

it's great. not everyone can use it easily because it's an advanced software but it is a great software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Tor:

it's not because your address is anonymous than you are 100% invisible. Don't go log in on facebook and google and your usual websites unless that's absolutely necessary because then you won't be anonymous anymore, just at another location. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Privacy... and proxy bypassing... and anonymity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Tor?

I really like how simple Tor is to set up. It is widely available to everybody, not just those who are computer savvy. It is perfect for keeping your identity private while online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tor?

It would be very nice if Tor encrypted your traffic, but it doesn't. It only provides anonymity with no encryption. But a VPN is a quick fix for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Tor:

You will definitely want to use a VPN and be careful about the .onion sites you visit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use it constantly for privacy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Tor?

to be fair it's the best regarding the safe browsing especially when you are sharing the PC with other friends or colleagues. so you don't have to keep your history safe and hidden from other people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tor?

the updates in this program need to be more consistent in order to fix the new pop up bugs and problems especially regarding the search engines since sometimes if you search for something the result might take a while to appear. in addition it's I think kind of difficult for the new user to do the sitting if they don't have enough knowledge in the networks.

What do you like best about Tor?

it's very good regarding the privacy while browsing, easy to use especially that its features are so similar to the firefox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tor?

the size of the program page is confusing since they told you not to change the size for better privacy so no maximization which is sometimes not good, also sometimes some of the websites don't work for no reason and you need to refresh the page many times to open the website and maybe it won't work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

private browsing and accessing to the banned websites such wikipedia, SOHR and so on Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Tor?

I like that Tor is built with privacy as the number 1 priority. It has great features built-in that makes it easy for a novice to be protected. With Tor there's no need to be an expert or even understand what Tor does for the user's privacy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tor?

What I dislike about Tor is the slow speed of my browsing experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Tor:

Use it! It's probably the best option out there. It is easy to use. I highly doubt that there is anything more user friendly with the amount of security that Tor has that's available on the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Security and privacy are the #1 problems facing business and consumers especially as cryptocurrency increases in popularity. I have experienced the benefit of having my browsing tracks virtually untraceable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
