I started to use the Tor browser bundle this week. Manly because of the whole NSA/Snowden thing. Plus Tor was a lot in the news from the Freedom Hosting take down, so I was reminded several times that I should test it out.

Maybe many others experienced the same? At list I have had enough. Obama is tracing me no more!

I second this. With everything going on in the news recently, I've increased my VPN and Tor usage.

I tried tor long time ago, but it was unusable for me due to extremely low speed.

I suggest you try it again. It's not nearly as slow now as it once was.

Just tried it. Nothing has changed. Browsing with TOR is ~30 times slower than normal browsing. It means it takes 2-3 seconds to load google.com, and 30s-1min to load my local news page, 15min.lt. I don't know who downvoted me for stating this fact, but he either doesn't use TOR or the nodes are near his physical location.

Occasionally you get a slow path. If this happens and you're in a hurry, just press the "New Identity" button to get a new random path. It usually works.

Funnily, last time I used it it was so quick I didn't think it was working!
