This right here. A very large part of the web is inaccessible from TOR. Last I tried you couldn't access social media, Google constantly forces you through captchas because it thinks you're a bot, and anything on a CDN will either forces captchas or just doesn't work. Financial institutions absolutely are all inaccessible.

Privacy is important, but most of the places you want to go with TOR to stay private won't let you in because malicious actors want to use it for the same reasons.

Facebook has an official.onion domain and it's the only way I access it, as it's required for my employer.

Reddit also has a .onion as well. Funny considering their pride on Ban evasion detection they should outright block Tor.
