Thanks for the info, I had belief that this was and is the case, and as such I knew that I've never had any use for such tools. But my reason posting was that I hoped to gain information such as what you've provided. I've known people who have swore by using the tor browser stating they've never felt safer even though they were doing nothing that required use of it (to my knowledge); but their admiration eventually lead me to the question I asked to figure our whether or not an "average Joe" had any incentive to use tor.

Thanks for the information; I've noticed myself repeating "yeah I already knew that" a lot while reading your comment; which only indicates to me I need to work on phrasing. In the same way that you could assume a child learning to speak knows nothing of the world around them by mixing up certain terms and words I believe I've made the same mistake in my vocabulary chosen on this post.

Although I did take a little away from everything you said I would like to mention the incident I referenced when I mentioned the FBI. The event I referenced was when the FBI gained control of Freedom Hosting (which was thought to house domains that published child porn) and as a part of the darkweb the FBI then reopened the pages with a piece of maleware which exploited a flaw in tor's anonymity for its users giving the FBI their locations. source: http://www.dailydot.com/crime/fbi-dark-web-malware-tor-freedom-hosting/

If I've gotten a few details of this wrong I haven't done extensive research into the incident, but rather just have a light brushing of knowledge as to how and why it was done. But regardless of that I've gained a little more insight into it now, thanks.

Alright you caught me, but I would've gotten away with it if it weren't for you rotten kids and your stupid dog
