No no no) TOR is the safest browser in the world, while we don't have any decentralized one. Yep, VPN is very useful, especially in countries where government and internet provider ban some resources. For example, China, USA, Russia... If governments don't like your site, they could ban it! Gisgusting situation
I read in past that TOR receiving money and donations from USA government. It is rather suspicious.
If I'm not wrong, Tor was created by US military. But it is still the safest and the most anonymous way to internet surfing. Why there are selling so many drugs, weapon and other illegal products? Because you can stay anonymous and do anything. But, as for me, TOR opens opportunity to look for any info and visit banned sites that allows to read interesting information.
