Just remember that you should not ever enter any identifying information while using it.&lt;p&gt;Tor is more than fast enough for every day browsing, heck I use it to watch Youtube without major problems. I also use it to read the news, find recipes or lyrics (or similarly shady web circles) etc.&lt;p&gt;If the other side does not &lt;i&gt;need&lt;/i&gt; to know who you are and does not &lt;i&gt;have to&lt;/i&gt; synchronize that information into a vast tracking&amp;#x2F;advertising network, why should you willingly submit it?</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Looking Up Symptoms Online?

Some pages are crippled by design, so disabling CSS might show the content. Others provide a escaped_fragment variant. But a stupid JS antipattern is sometimes used to display normal content with JS. One big problem are domains like ajax.google. This is often used to enhanced website, but google using it to track users.&lt;p&gt;When talking about evil Google, one needs to add YT. A friend of mine once claimed: You watch a stripper, if you visit YouPorn. But you strip your privacy, if you visit YouTube.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Looking Up Symptoms Online?
