Hi Phill,
I found this article very interesting. I already knew about TOR and other similar browsers, but wasn’t sure about how they worked or their intricacies. I thought it was cool how the TOR browser is built onto Firefox– I didn’t know that. I also found it interesting how you said not to use browser plugins or open downloads while TOR is open. What’s the reasoning behind this and why does it sacrifice my security? In the future I don’t think I’ll use TOR, and instead use a VPN, as it seems a VPN would be much more convenient for my needs. Thanks!
