> Re-evaluate whether the kind of privacy offered by tor is your number one priority

A good point. Though in fairness, that's why I included Chrome over a VPN as an option.

> The information stored on their computer is far more sensitive than the list of sites they visit.

Not that it invalidates your points, but I wonder how true this one statement is. First, remember that in addition to metadata Tor hides content (which may be redundant in the case of HTTPS-secured websites, but that's not a bad thing). Also, a journalists' metadata could tell you a lot about the who, what, when, where, why and how they are researching, and expose sources.

What is more valuable, knowing who a journalist is talking to and when, or knowing what was said? IM very HO, I think the former.
