Hello Rudd-O, many times technology can be used in both sides good and e*
My first concern with this internet and lack of IT-security is, that in some main-stream browsers you have enough backdoors to book in the second you type in your credit-card information in parallel for you on another place with a another delivering-address of course... In my eyes a hard browser focused to the financial goals of the owner will be quite helpful in this crazy internet game. Tor, I'm afraid will be also a perfect tool to deliver a hidden command and control structure (e.g. my QR31 was not updating anything any more...). "Of the top twenty most popular Tor addresses, eleven are command and control centres for botnets, including all of the top five." https://www.technologyreview.com/s/519186/security-flaw-shows-tor-anonymity-network-dominated-by-botnet-command-and-control/ So Tor will be useful on a live-QubesOS DVD in a dual mode, if you need Whonix browser + Tor Features, e.g. for security-research without the tracing features of the network. It's so hard to get an coherent picture about the good and robust internet infrastructure. Perhaps a new kind of network will get this straight out of the box.... one day in the far far future... A how to do banking, shopping ans surfing-guide will be quite helpful to get a solid baseline towards a better safe internet-experience.
