Tor is secure. Short of security bugs, there are only three ways to subvert it: 1. Control or monitor *all* Tor nodes. 2. Directly attack the computer of the user trying to be anonymous. 3. Taking advantage of user stupidity. I seriously doubt the NSA or any organization is succeeding at

In the latest IceCat fingerprint seems to be the same of Tor Browser's. You can check this by testing if Tor is enabled; usually if the test page recognises you are using a browser different from TBB, it will tell you so with a short phrase coloured in yellow. However, with the latest

The NSA certainly does not control every Tor node. It controls some but that is not enough: see the slides 21 and 22 (a list of six questions) of http://www.theguardian.com/world/interactive/2013/oct/04/tor-stinks-nsa-presentation-document for what they consider(ed?) to try with their nodes.

TOR is a trap. I disagree. But Tor is only part of the solution (it doesn't handle OS security for instance). And Tor isn't perfect either(Learn about entry guards issues). But it's the best we have right now for that kind of tasks. It's already been shown that some of the routers are in

https://check.torproject.org/?lang=en_US doesn't seem to check the fingerprint very much. In fact, IceCat's fingerprint is different from Tor Browser. With scripts enabled, it reports a different time zone than TBB, and it reports your actual screen resolution whereas TBB reports the window
