Thank you for the detailed answer. I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about using tor browser, considering how privacy-minded the community tends to be.

    It is confusing, Tor is an excellent privacy tool if used properly (don't log in to stuff), but I guess it's still a technical hurdle to most. Probably also from a lack of marketing.

    I think in countries where the government is decidedly more authoritarian it's more known. On my relay right now I see a ton of russian and a smaller amount of German connections.

    No problem! And yeah, it's good to see people talking about it over here. I think it's the best tool for online privacy OOTB (depending on your threat model), and it gets better the more people use it.
