Why would I use it? I get that we need it for journalists and stuff but it's mostly used by hackers

Might also be a good idea to use something like Ublock origin and Portmaster as well, don't just try to curate ad targeting, block them, if you want to still support websites you can use something like adnauseam which clicks the ads.

I'm not trying to say that Tor isn't a good idea because they should be blocking ads, I think more people should absolutely use it for better anonymous browsing, I only bring up ad blockers because if people don't want to be targeted ads they should be blocking them.

Bonus: Add anti-adblock filters to ad-block, it helps significantly with sites that try to detect them, also spam and malware filters are essential.
