It's not though. It doesn't do that at all. It's for hiding your traffic from your ISP. That way you don't get DCMA notices or slowdown from their end. It really does nothing to hide your identity. Especially if you log in to websites and Facebook. Sure, the random odd webpage won't know who you are, but that's about it.

That's what I meant but was trying to keep things simple. Obviously if you are logging into sites, they will have some info about you. But you can hide your identity if you know what you ate doing.
