How Tor Can Help You Be More Anonymous on the Internet
Whilst a Tor browser can access normal HTTPS websites, it can also access onion websites and the dark web (where there is no age verification required). The linked article is quite comprehensive in that it also mentions some downsides like slower speed, and some exposure on both sides of the link (entering and exiting the Tor network) namely your ISP seeing the Tor protocol being used, and the Tor exit node.
But importantly the article gives some suggestions on improving privacy, and also highlighting that the Tor network can be used for perfectly legitimate sites on the dark web — many being news sites, e-mail, Twitter, Facebook, etc. In some countries, VPNs and Tor are used to gain access to news and e-mail that may otherwise be blocked. So Tor also bypasses censorship attempts by governments.
Some browsers like Brave browser will actually fire up their own private window with Tor, so no need to install the Tor browser itself.
