Tor is a search browser that is impossible to track its route through the Internet. It takes random search, each different every time, to search for something. It works fine, but seems to take a little longer to search for anything, but that's the cost of having to do a brand new web crawl every time. I don't have much use of this product, since I'm not buying meth over the Internet, but if you are, you're more than welcome to try it out.
I may have used it as a joke, but Tor is often used in the use of "Darknet", basically illegal anonymous file sharing on the Internet, but it can be extended to so much more. Notably: The selling of illegal things on the Internet, such as guns, drugs, even organs, if you search hard enough. Think of it as the shady Chinese market place that has a front of being fish market. If I'm not making much sense, which I never do, it's kind of the black market of the Internet. Specifically, it's the Silk Road. Such a pleasant name too. Tor allows these sort of practices to avoid being tracked by things like the NSA, because obviously it's illegal. It works by using false web sites that avoid detection due to a low web count and a variety of other means. I barely understand it myself, but it's just the dark part of the Internet, the parts that aren't My Little Pony porn and anorexia blogs. Arguably; I'd say those are worse.
