You get much of the benefit by using TLS, and Tor comes with a variety of mildly problematic side effects (speed issues, rather more complicated to set up and keep going for the average person, the fact that sadly Tor is also pretty widely used for malicious activity so you have to be a bit cautious in *how* you use it, etc.). By comparison, the work for TLS is all on the project's part, and then the end user just gets the benefit for nearly free. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
