Tor Browser 9.5
I downloaded the Tor Browser a decade ago, maybe even longer, in an effort to be privacy conscious. I used it here and there but I never made the switch to using Tor by default. Some time later I remember reading the US government was tracking people, or had a list of everyone, who had simply downloaded Tor. I also vaguely remember reading about how using Tor could potentially expose you to legal risks because of the way the information hops between user computers. I don't really know much about networking or the nitty gritty of how Tor works so I uninstalled it.I don't know if any of that was true and even if it was I'm sure a lot has changed with how Tor handles privacy and directs traffic. Are there any good resources for average Joe internet users to read about how the browser works so I can better understand the risks/rewards?
