You are welcome Sophie,

My life has never been in danger due to privacy concerns, the same I am 
sure is true for most readers here, and Tor has never even came close to 
saving my life. I am sure this is also true for the developers of Tor 
and major Tor-related systems.

This is just a fascinating topic, and it is interesting how Tor allows 
to separate singular digital life, that most people have, into the more 
or less separate islands, not connected to each other. And once such 
separation is available, the natural question to ask is what is the 
highest degree of such separation that is achievable? And that is how 
virtual machines/Qubes/etc come into play.

It doesn't hurt to learn, all these systems are truly on the cutting 
edge of technology, and are very rewarding to study.

Cheers,
Yuri
