Is that actually a controversy? I feel like everyone I talk to with any credible claim to security expertise recommends against it.

So much so that I’d like to see an expert recommend it.

There is a wide and growing gulf between what cyber experts know and what the tech savvy public knows. The world is changing so fast right now you almost need to invent your adversary's tools to be free from them.

If you're talking with large numbers of people that don't trust Tor then it speaks more to the quality of your friends than it does about the prevalence of this opinion.

Yeah, I've seen people go apoplectic at the idea.
