Ask HN: How do I explain Tor to my Mom?

When I start talking cookies, privacy, security she thinks oatmeal, tightens the grip on her purse and whispers: "why, what, wait, who's listening?". Keep in mind that this is a 60+ lady who's getting along well with Ubuntu; however, all she does is power up, click-open a browser and plays online.

Point is: with most of today's computing done in a browser and most users being non-techie: is it even possible to spread proper secure/private browsing? A simple click-install-go solution?
