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.

Tor Browser for Anonymity
The tor browser is best for users who are looking anonymity online and stop being tracked by the ISP's for Advertising Purposes and Tor browser is also available on the cross platform such as windows , mac & Linux operating systems.
PROSA TOR circuit is the combination of entry/guard relay, middle relay and the exit relay which masks the ISP provided IP address multiple times by the Tor network helps the user to be anonymous on the web and also works best and consumes very less amount of RAM, The data is encrypted over the transmission
CONSThe exit relay can be a single point where the data sent over the network less secure but still the tor browser ensures the security for the end users. Tor browser lacks in the bandwidth speeds as it built hops in the network.

Best browser for those who are concerned with the privacy.
This is the best tool. At first I used it for not so much and later it made me use that browser as a default one. Now I only use TOR and I am quite satisfied with the tool
PROSPrivacy function is super cool. It completely lets you get secure and sometimes you really need to have it. This makes it the best browser one can ever get
CONSThey should develop extensions and be more flexible about it. Nowadays we all use browser extensions just to get our work done easier.

J.L. Tor Browser Review
Tor Browser was the first ever privacy-focused browser that I've come across that offers the same features as any other browser with the exception of not using your data for malicious intentions (ads, etc.). So when it came to browsing for information that may seem criminal-related, this was the first browser that I turned to. However, I rarely use it because other browsers like Google and Safari are already installed on my devices since I got them. So going out of my way to install a replacement browser didn't make any sense for me at the point in time. To contrast that statement, with more research that I conduct these days I will definitely put Tor Browser in mind.
PROSWebsites that are blocked in my region, since I live in the Caribbean, can be finally accessed with no issues whatsoever when using Tor Browser.
CONSSince most of my account information are connected to either iCloud, Google or Microsoft, Tor Browser isn't a priority for me as there aren't any other applications associated to it that I can use.

Anonimato garantito: un ottimo browser da affiancare a quello principale.
Se usato correttamente ed in maniera legale, è un ottimo alleato da avere installato sul proprio pc.Sconsiglio ovviamente di usarlo come browser principale poichè troppo limitato, lento e perché effettivamente molto spesso non ce n è bisogno.
PROSLo uso da anni quando voglio navigare senza essere monitorato, senza pop up fastidiosi e richieste di dati personali da parte di numerosi siti. Riduce anche le innumerevoli pubblicità di certi siti, quanto basta per ritenerlo un valido browser alternativo a quello principale (che uso nella maggior parte dei casi)E' comunque utile a mio avviso averlo installato affiancato, per avere queste possibilità in caso di necessità.Inoltre in certi paesi aggira la censura del web da parte dello Stato o delle Autorità e quindi promuove la libertà di parola e di espressione, cosa che umanamente apprezzo.
CONSLa velocità di navigazione estremamente bassa, ovviamente è quello che bisogna sopportare per avere a disposizione tutta questa privacy, fermo restando che Tor Browser è sicuro ma in certe circostanze non totalmente irrintracciabile.Qualcuno inoltre potrebbe usarlo in modo scorretto e per compiere illeciti. Ovviamente il programma non è nato per questi intenti, e spesso lo si associa negativamente ed esclusivamente alla cybercriminalità, sbagliando e tralasciando invece le potenzialità "sane" e gli scopi giusti e leciti che può avere in certi contesti.

Truly Anonymous Browsing
I have used Tor browser for the last few years and have become accustomed to it. While the slow load times preclude it from being a serious option for general, all-purpose internet browsing, it can be used to browse without being seen to great effect.
PROSTor is one of the only ways that a user can access dot-onion web addresses, making it one of the best tools available for "incognito browsing." This has made Tor a godsend to people in countries with authoritarian regimes that heavily restrict internet access. While this may not be something that effects my life in a direct way, it is something that deserves a great deal of respect, in my opinion.
CONSTor can be difficult to configure or troubleshoot at times. It is definitely intended for semi-advanced users (at least), but novice and beginner users can pick it up if needed. What Tor is infamous for, however, is its almost cartoonishly excessive slow load times. This is inherent to its functionality, because the users location is being pinged across the globe to mask the IP address, which takes more time.

Privacy Protection and Security with Tor Browser
I'm extremely satisfied with Tor Browser and the level of protection it provides. I feel confident knowing that my online activities are private and secure, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a browser that prioritizes privacy and security.
PROSThis browser has proven to be a valuable tool for protecting my online activities, and here's why:Anonymity: Tor Browser routes my internet traffic through a network of servers, ensuring that my online activities are untraceable. This gives me peace of mind when I'm browsing sensitive information or engaging in online transactions.Security: Tor Browser uses encryption to protect my data and blocks trackers, ads, and other malicious content, keeping my online activities secure. This is especially important when I'm accessing sensitive information or engaging in financial transactions online.

The #1 defender of my web browsing
When I'm talking about TOR Browser to someone, I find myself discussing the same thing over and over again: its suite of web browser security features. True, things like design, web page load speed, etc. matter... but not at the cost of putting our security and data in danger. Tracker blocking and multi-layer encryption are only a couple of the powerful assets TOR Browser puts at your disposal to make sure that, every time you surf the web, you don't need to be afraid of being tracked.
CONSThe biggest con about using TOR Browser is that, while it's open source, it isn't available for mobile devices – so if you're an Iphone user, for example, you'll have to use it only from your laptop.
