ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

.tor

"T tor" is a way to use the Internet called the "dark web". To use the dark web, you need a special web browser called Tor Browser. This lets you visit websites that are not available on regular web browsers like Chrome or Safari.

The Tor Browser works by bouncing your internet connection around different computers so that nobody can find out who you are or where you are located. This makes it very difficult for someone to track your online activities.

People use the dark web for many reasons, some of which are not legal. For example, some people use it to buy drugs or weapons or to access illegal content. It is important to remember that just because it is difficult to track your online activities on the dark web, it does not provide complete anonymity and illegal activities can still be traced and punished.

In summary, Tor is a way of using the internet that hides your identity and location, and it is important to use it responsibly and appropriately.
