Tor has provided the user a simplified browser which requires no configuration and from the get go your up and running. Installation of this application went smoothed with no glitches. click on the icon and your up and anonymous.
Pro's
Main GUI is basic enter a URL and your on your way.
A green onion icon in the upper left will show you what nodes your IP is going through, and you can change these at a second, this makes it very attractive in protecting your identity. I ran checks on tor to determine if it was hiding my IP and it did without any problems.
Cons:
Tor in its comments indicated not to add extensions on as this would degrade its protection so on will have to run the browser as is.However Tor stated one can download the complete package to insure all features could be implemented.
Depending on the nodes at the time the browser is open can slow down the web page to a small degree that is being opened, but is acceptable in my opinion
Conclusion:
If your needs are a simple way of hiding your identity and IP Tor browser will work
