Tor is shutting down Tor Cloud due to lack of programmers helping keep the software maintained:

Launched in 2011 the Tor Cloud Project acted as a conduit to bring extra users to the fold. However, according to the Tor network blog, there simply are not enough developers contributing to the project to run it effectively.

"The main reason for discontinuing Tor Cloud is the fact that software requires maintenance, and Tor Cloud is no exception," Tor says.

Without a pool of Tor developers to keep the software up-to-date and bug free, the service has become little more than a risk to the security and privacy of users.

    there are many sites that don't work with tor. You can't even read craigslist, it blocks the IPs of all the exit nodes. So much of the time I use firefox, then I see adwords.

    So you don't know how to block Adwords (and all the other sites that track you) when not using Tor?

    I'm not using Tor, but I never see Adwords.
