    Does anyone here use PGP / Tor for anything Intresting? I have been setting up all the needed software, but did not want to get too deep into exploring anything that could yeild unwanted content / associations.

    Any thoughts on .Onion / Deep Web browsing?

    Only thing I can think of is that when using Tor sometimes making sure search engines stay with in your language this can sometimes be a challenge as your traffic bounces all over the place and might not stay with in English speaking countries.

    Downloading content may be a bit slow as you are relaying through a lot of hosts to pull files down through.

    it's not safe to use, people can snoop on you. it's slow.
    people have a false sense of security when they use it.

    Onion space is a bit like the early WWW, full of personal sites designed manually which look silly or broken.

    I prefer I2P myself. Tor I keep for clearnet browsing.

    Personally, I just set the Tor Browser to English, which is their recommendation for fingerprint prevention anyway.
