Ask HN: How do I explain Tor to my Mom?
When I start talking <i>cookies, privacy, security</i> she thinks oatmeal, tightens the grip on her purse and whispers: &quot;why, what, wait, who&#x27;s listening?&quot;. Keep in mind that this is a 60+ lady who&#x27;s getting along well with Ubuntu; however, all she does is power up, click-open a browser and plays online.<p>Point is: with most of today&#x27;s computing done in a browser and most users being non-techie: is it even possible to spread proper secure&#x2F;private browsing? A simple click-install-go solution?
