Tor has an unfortunately seedy underside, where data scrapers and online scammers (two of several use cases that I know of) use the service to obfuscate their actions and avoid crackdown. "That's why we can't have nice things."

For those who are still somewhat paranoid, consider getting paid proxies for a much more reliable service while still maintaining IP anonymity.

Tor can't monitor your data itself (and put it to an identity), so it is considerably more anonymous.
