In my experience, TOR's been fine for latency, but the problem I've been having is getting stuck in an infinite loop of Cloudflare "Checking if the site connection is secure."

There just isnt enough exit nodes that cloud providers have opted to either blacklist, or heavily deprioritize those nodes' traffic.
I'd want to see every computer connected to the internet turn into an exit node! It makes it infeasible to block those IPs, and also prevents people from being charged a crime for such traffic.

Depending on the jurisdiction, this may not be true. In any case it could cause punishment by forcing the exit node operator to get the runaround of the legal system.
Also it is conceivable that governments would update laws to make it illegal, if there was such an impact to NSA data collection to warrant it.
It's a nice thought and running an exit node is on my short term to do list, but I also recognize the costs associated with it and what it may mean for my family.
