I've actually considered getting on to TOR but to be honest my computer intellect ends with microsoft. I recently saw this video https://youtu.be/BFuG4EX6NIM and was wondering if this would be a smart way to go about it.

It's basically the exact same as the internet you use right now, but slow. It can allow you browse .tor websites and normal websites. There is nothing complicated unless you are looking to stay anonymous from just about everyone, THEN you need to be more educated. That video was pretty gay, I skipped around. Seemed like correct info. Think of TOR like a cool version of firefox (it uses FF actually as the browser), that lets you see sites normal FF won't let you (.tor sites) and has a ton of built in proxies. But it's SUPER slow.

Don't get me wrong i am well aware of what TOR is. (used it one time, maybe 2 yrs ago). the reason i linked that vid was mainly to ask if loading the mentioned OS onto a thumb drive would be smarter than just putting TOR on my PC. I've been delving pretty deep into certain things we dont even dare talk about on VOAT and am almost certain im being watched. (no i don't think im special, just very capable)

Running from a USB is HIGHLY recommended for the security conscious. I also would recommend if you get into some deep secret clubs (that are legit) to change out memory sticks occasionally. Using linux is also a better idea than windows or mac.
