TOR is too slow for every day browsing. You will never get the masses to adopt something if it’s going to severely affect normal web browsing. I agree that more should use it but it’s just too damn slow.
My assumption is it passing the traffic across multiple TOR relays. Other than using it a few times on a few PC’s I really haven’t dug into it and haven’t done any troubleshooting. It wasn’t worth it to use for clearnet sites that can be accessed with a standard browser.
My testing was for an IT project to block all of TOR on corporate devices and test blocking users that log into their company account on a tor relay/browser/IP.
