TOR is a privacy orientated web browser and if you have tried to get the TOR Browser running and had trouble, I have created a 6m 15sec video showing a method that I use here: https://youtu.be/RFsb5JtNpoA
The software manager does have entries for TOR but I have not had much luck with them on Zorin and other Linux distro's. This is the easiest way I have found to get TOR Browser onto my Linux systems. It does not install but rather just runs from it own folder and the video shows how to create and add an entry to your Menu. No entries are added to your system updater or PPA's etc and TOR checks for updates each time it is run.
TOR Browser is built from Firefox so should look and feel similar however it is slower than regular browsers due to the way it works, it may also allow you to get around Geo blocking and other forms or Internet censorship. If you haven't used it before expect a few surprises! It is not intended for illegal or nefarious purposes and I do not recommend such practices. A little extra privacy online, if we even have any at all...
You may have issues using it for Internet Banking or some sites because you will appear to be coming form another location in the world, I haven't tried this or had any issues thus far.
You can delete the folder and remove the menu entries and leave no trace of TOR on your system like deleting any other file or folder should you choose to.
Leave some feedback on your experience if you give it a go!
