The Tor software protects you by making you a highly secure anonymous Internet user by hiding your identity over communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world. It prevents someone trying to monitor you over Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning and revealing your physical location, and it lets you access Deep Web sites which are blocked.
With Tor browser you can visit/access TOR hidden sites such as .onion, .bit sites which are only a tiny part of the Deep Web (see also Dark Web). Deep Web is simply a collection of websites that cannot be indexed by search engines like Google, Bing, and so on. Deep Web accounts for almost 99% of the connected webs, while the normal web that we use daily, known as Surface Web is only 1%. Using Tor browser requires you to take some safety precautions. For various os distributions, you can install Tor browser from Anonymity Site.
