So, looking at their specs on the kickstarter, it is another router that goes between your modem & wifi, or it can be your wifi. It is shown to be able to be used out in the public but does not show how that happens. It says it has 2 network connections and a wifi connection (at just the 2.4 GHz, really?). At $130, is it worth it?
I can understand Ad blocking, and maybe VPN, but do we want common people working with Tor? This might be better advertised to journalists with some given training as about what it is, how it works, and how to use it properly. For your everyday consumer? Maybe not so much imo.
What's wrong with TOR for normal home users other than it slows your junk down? Now of course the lack of locality and other tracking that we've become to accustomed to will definitely through people for a loop.
You ever train somebody else to hit the onion instead of the e in order for them to go to facebook to see their pictures? Good luck with that.

Only people who understand what this stuff even is would even consider buying it. So there is that.

Could impact a lot of services, I've not used Tor so don't know how big it would be for a normal home user.
I use it all the time. I generally only have it setup for one browser on any given system. It does slow things down a lot.

I've used tor, it's functional, but removes a lot of what most people consider useful from most websites.
