Tor Browser is an abomination. I don't know of any other software with lower ratio of real security to expected security (by the average user). See the Freedom Hosting story [0] for an example why. This time it was about pedophiles, but this danger holds for everyone, from users of silkroad clones to opposition in totalitarian countries.
Tor Browser is making tor more accessible to average computer user in the same way selling minefields cheaply makes real estate more accessible to average human.
The only reasonable way of using tor for even remotely illegal purposes is by using whonix, or roughly equivalent schemes (eg. a tor-only router + tails).
