    It actually feels selfish to use Tor as a daily driver.

      I assume that by “selfish” you mean taking up bandwidth from the Tor network, which is a valid concern. But using it as a daily driver for low-bandwidth tasks like reading text (and maybe a few compressed pictures here and there) is actually be beneficial to the Tor network, as it increases the size of the crowd, thereby making everyone more anonymous.

        Eh, that’s fair. As long as it is low bandwidth like you said. Maybe I’ll do it some.
