Davids Tor browser review
Tor is light, easy to use and has a great search engine.
PROSTor browser is free, easy to use and one of the safest browsers that will protect users online privacy without any third party antispyware or adblockers installed.
CONSTor can be slow when it comes to downloads due to how it routes traffic and may be illegal to install in other countries.
Reasons for switching to Tor Browser
Tor is safer and keeps m data safe from hackers.

Tor Browser - The True Freedom of Internet Browsing.
I can get accurate results every time I browse using Tor Browser no matter where I am.
PROSTor browser starts a fresh session every time you browser. You can refresh the browser session automatically every hour of browsing to switch profile and servers. I honestly love the way Tor Browser gives the user freedom to surf anything without censoring the results. Tor Browser also uses technology incorporates VPNs into the browser to ensure anonymous browsing and privacy.
CONSI cannot think of any problems with the browser because it uses its own servers and relays so it does not crash. The only con is that the browser is slower on standard devices like mobile devices.
Reason for choosing Tor Browser
To Browser gives you access to all the corners of the internet. You can view and content, any website and information not available on any other browser I know.
Reasons for switching to Tor Browser
I could not get access to some websites in my country so I did research and found Tor Browser and have used it since 2015.

interesting app but is it really that secure
I was looking for a combination of TOR and VPN and "TOR Browser Private Web + VPN" seemed to be a good shot. The more I learned about the intricacies of privacy, the less I started using the app, and relied on the PC-based Tor app + a VPN whose location was deemed safer. Not being able to choose from what country to connect from (trial version only) was also a bit offputting. I now don't use the app, and prefer using my computer with the original TOR browser + a VPN of my choice.
PROSit combines TOR and a VPN. You can set up your browser through a set of preferences (javascript, bookmarks, you can choose to keep your browsing history)...
CONSThe app doesn't seem to be open source: it is always a concern for me, I tend to trust open-source apps more, especially when it comes to privacy. I also did not find where their VPN company is based, which is another concern for me as I don't rely too much on VPNs based in the 5, 9, or 14 'eyes' countries. In my trial version (the paid version is different), I could not choose the country I wanted to connect from. Sometimes the app would not connect at all or browsing was very slow. When checking on the check.torbrowser website, it reads: "This browser is configured to use TOR, however, it does not appear to be TOR browser". It doesn't reassure me much.

Tor Browser is an excellent tool for maintaining your online privacy
Tor Browser is an excellent tool for maintaining our online privacy. It has many features that make it safer than other browsers, including encryption and anti-tracking measures. In today's world, all data needs to be protected, and we feel that our business will benefit from using Tor.
PROSTor Browser is entirely free and open source.The software is easy to install and use because it doesn't require any technical knowledge from users. It is just like installing Chrome.Tor is the only way to access onion sites, which are websites that use the Tor network. Onion sites are used by journalists, activists and others who need to protect their privacy. They are also used by governments, law enforcement agencies and intelligence agencies. (Criminals can also access them.)Tor Browser is more secure than regular browsers because it uses Tor, which makes its users' data harder to track. The Tor browser also includes privacy-focused extensions like NoScript and HTTPS Everywhere that make sure you're browsing on sites that support HTTPS encryption (the latest version of the protocol for encrypting web traffic).Tor's encryption works by concealing your IP address from the websites you visit and then bouncing your communications through at least three separate relays—that is, computers running Tor software. This process makes it difficult for anyone else to link the fact that you're visiting a certain site with any other activity on your computer or phone.Because these relays are run by volunteers all over the world, they don't have any sort of centralized control system; this means they can't be shut down easily either.
CONSTor is slower than other browsers. This shouldn't come as a surprise, considering that it's a proxy browser that routes your traffic through multiple nodes before sending it out to the internet. Exit nodes are the last point of contact between Tor and the public internet; they decrypt and encrypt traffic between users on the Tor network and servers or websites on the regular web. This provides a layer of anonymity: no one can see what you’re doing online except for your ISP (and by extension, anyone who has access to their records). But if an exit node isn't secure itself, it may leave traces about what sites you visit—and even how frequently—that could compromise your privacy. The solution is to use a VPN.
Reasons for switching to Tor Browser
We switched due to privacy and anonymity concerns.

TOR Browser is a modern must have Software
I am very satisfied with TOR and this is one of the must have Software on the PC, as it provides easy, stable, secure and fast way of browsing the WWW.
PROSI had a lot of the issues, sometimes on the work as we had to access different Sites ( which were for US based employees and had documentation required for general troubleshooting of some issues with Network, Windows and our main product in general ) and also as a normal user on my private laptop, when I was home and wanted to check some of the animes, which aired literally an hour ago. All of this, I was only able to fulfill thanks to the TOR Browser, which helped me to elevate my user experience and which satisfied all of my daily needs. I have tried some other Software before, but none were as good and fast as TOR Browser ( they tend to lose the connection a lot and they were not stable at all, which never did happen even for a second, while I was using TOR ).
CONSDon't have any negative thoughts about TOR and I do hope that makers will continue their super work, as everything so far, was way more than I expected to get at first place.
Reasons for switching to Tor Browser
I tried TOR by accident while checking something on my previous job and I immediately fell in love from the Star and for me and this area of use, there i nothing besides TOR.
