Anonymous Web Browsing with Tor and Firefox

Are you worried about online privacy? If so, you should check out Tor. It's basically a virtual network you can use to connect to online services without anyone knowing your identity. Cool, right?

Installation is really quite simple. For Windows users, just follow these instructions.

If you're using Firefox, you can install the Torbutton extension that allows you to switch from Tor to regular surfing with the click of a button. It's really that convenient.

The downside is that Tor is kind-of slow. Logically, it would be. You're sending your traffic across other people's network connections. However, if you're looking for anonymity, Tor might be a good choice.
