Tor is counted as compromised these days, as far as I know. One has to assume that several intel services - prime candidates are USA, GBR and ISR, maybe also Russia - can read it.
I tried it some years ago, for half a year, it came at the price of
really massive slow-downs. The using of it, I mean, not the decyphering.
I hated to use it. If your life depends on it, you accept such slow downs. But just for ordinary surfing: such low speeds (worse than a 56K modem back in the days...) are a bad deal.
But if your life depends on it: do not use Tor, it most likely is comrp0rmised. Simply avoid electronic communication at all. I mean, if your life depends on it, its your life you are about, right?
