And if you’re doing more than searching, like streaming content or making a video call, odds are it’ll be even more laggy.

It seems that speed is a common issue with the Tor browser, an unfortunate side effect of it being volunteer-run. The workaround for slow speed is to click the New Tor Circuit for This Site option in the upper-right menu, but that didn’t seem to speed anything up when we tried it. Searching with DuckDuckGo returned results in English, but it took several seconds to complete the search. When switching to Yahoo, the results came up in the wrong language, even though the browser was set to English.
