Tor isn't that bad actually for browsing, while i2p needs more love regarding speed.

Isn't Tor Browser fairly bad due to it being a target? I'm not sure if that changed recently, but I recall seeing lots of "don't use the Tor Browser bundle".

Tor also relies on exit nodes to exist, yet it's considered very dangerous to run one.

Just FUD.
