Comment on Tor Browser 8.5parent

Comments

I use Tor/Tor Browser quite often. I use it mostly for privacy, but also to test a few thing like price of plane tickets and such.

The speed is much better nowadays. Unless your unlucky and you circuit has a slow node in it (which the protocol try to avoid if i remember correctly), you should have a decent web browsing experience. Sure, it will be slower than your "normal" connection, but usually not by that much.

Although, if you plan on downloading large files via Tor, you will hit a bandwidth cap fairly quickly. You can look in detail here: https://metrics.torproject.org/torperf.html

Available bandwidth quadruple since 2014: https://metrics.torproject.org/bandwidth-flags.html?start=20...
