Thankfully that is not the point of Tor. Tor provides for encryption of
content over your local network (and through a few nodes, to be
technical) so that local sniffers don't grab your data, and anonymity
when it comes to the webservers seeing who is browsing their site.

At any rate, I think anonymity is a bit beyond the scope of the OP.

TOR exit nodes are of course suspect nowdays.
