Its supposed to be the ultimate in anonymous web browsing. I checked it out and I would say that either it is the ultimate in privacy or people really believe it is. Because there is some really crazy shit going on in some of the hidden web pages (people buying and selling drugs, ridiculous sexual fantasy stuff, it was crazy). And to be even more secure most sites only allow you to purchase things with those tokens (can't remember what they are called). You know that shit where you hook your PC to the internet and it solves ridiculous equations and when it actually completes one you get a token. What the hell is that called again?!?
