"Privacy Tool with Multi-Layered Network Protection"
What do you like best about Tor?

The circuit-based architecture implements three-hop routing through globally distributed relay nodes, ensuring traffic origin remains concealed through multiple encryption layers. The onion service functionality enables hosting hidden websites accessible only through Tor network infrastructure, providing end-to-end encrypted communication without revealing server IP addresses.

Cross-platform compatibility spans Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS environments with consistent security implementations. The integrated browser bundle incorporates hardened Firefox ESR foundation with pre-configured security extensions including HTTPS Everywhere and NoScript for comprehensive protection against tracking and malicious scripts. Bridge relay support facilitates circumvention of network-level censorship and surveillance in restrictive jurisdictions.

The network operates through volunteer-maintained infrastructure comprising approximately 7,000 active relays worldwide, creating substantial anonymity sets that enhance user privacy protection. Security level configurations offer granular control over JavaScript execution, media rendering, and font loading to prevent fingerprinting attacks. The software maintains open-source transparency with continuous community auditing and regular security updates addressing emerging threats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tor?

Performance variability creates significant browsing delays, particularly when circuits traverse geographically distant relays or lower-bandwidth volunteer nodes. Some circuits exhibit substantial latency with page loading times extending to multiple seconds, occasionally requiring manual circuit refreshing to restore acceptable speeds.

Network congestion from bandwidth-intensive applications affects overall responsiveness, creating bottlenecks that impact interactive web browsing sessions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Tor Web Browser - Goods & Bads"

Certain websites present content based on the location of the visitor. Using Tor, I can access local content and services such as internet music of a particular continent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A significant downside is security. Being Dark Web, you can expect your route, which is multiple hops, to be a hacker trying to find out a vulnerability in your system to distribute malware or gain some form of control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Safe and uncensored Browser"
What do you like best about Tor?

The application has many pros and incredible functions. I can say a few pros for those who want to use them in the future. So it provides a high level of privacy; Allows you to access sites and networks that cannot be accessed from a regular browser and search engine; It supports all technologies necessary for viewing modern sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tor?

Actually, as someone who has been using it for a few years with my work, I cannot say that I have seen many cons. But I think slow page loading speed is the part that all users complain about. I hope this drawback will soon be closed or improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
