Hi All,
I went to tor's web site, but could not figure out what exactly it was or how to use it with my browser.

If you need to know what Tor is, wikipedia would be more helpful.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_(anonymity_network)
To play with Tor, you can start with tor package, setup a local proxy port and tell your browser to access network via that proxy.
But using a usual browser isn't a good idea since the browser itself can break anonymity. You may try out torbrowser-launcher script to run a browser designed for Tor.

Tor is a multi-level proxy with layered encryption. You connect to one Tor node, the connection is proxied to another Tor node, before the final connection is made to the final destination. All layers are encrypted. The first Tor node doesn't know where your final connection is, all it knows is to proxy your connection to another Tor node, and forward the traffic, that you are encrypting with a public key that can only be decoded by the final, the exit Tor node, who will know where you're connecting to.
And the exit Tor node doesn't know where the connection is coming from. Its connection is from another Tor node, and it doesn't tell it the real IP address the connection is coming from.
As far as how to use it in your browser, that I can't tell you. I don't use Tor myself, I just know what it is. I'm sure there's a plugin for Firefox, somewhere. There are also specialized builds of Firefox that automatically use Tor for everything.

The Tor Project distribute their own build of Firefox I think. Iǘe used it a few times.

If one installs the torbrowser-launcher package and then runs it it will go through the process of downloading their build for you and setting everything up.

I've used it in the past.....but it is on the slow side. And, other reasons for not sticking with it.
