Any of you using Tor?
How does it compare with Firefox?

What do you mean? Tor is integrated with a specific version of the browser for now, and they've said that it's too late to fork a version to Chrome. Tor itself is just a network; the Tor Browser is a specific browser to interface WITH that network.

It is much slower browsing with Tor. I'm not sure how much more secure it really is, but it is definitely slow loading.

Which makes total sense, given how it works, right?

I have played with TOR in the past. Just for grins, took my netbook to the library that uses a DNS blocker (OpenDNS I think). I was blocked from getting on to the TOR network.

I don't really trust the TOR nodes. I mean hackers run those nodes. I think that is how some of the Diplomatic Cables got stolen.

But it is fun to tinker with and check out. I browsed the silk road before Dredd Pirate got busted. And checked out the fake hit men.
