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.

It's dangerous in some places to run an exit, not everywhere.
