I did use tor for a while, it is very good at what it does. It did
however add a lot of time to the delivery of a page, and caused some
pages to not appear at all. It also completely failed when trying to
work within a VPN, which is why I eventually had to drop it.
If you don't care about extra load time, or working within a VPN, then
it works exactly as advertised. 
It can also produce interesting results when you visit a page that used
IP based GEOlocation to decide which language it should present you
with :) If you use tor, don't expect everything to still be in English
by default
