I'm sorry if I'm asking too much... but just getting inquisitive.
From the discussion above, what I understand is TOR works in a client server model. We download the client and that connects us to TOR servers which gives us anonymity by hiding our IP. Now my question is, who run these TOR servers ?
It's just a network much like the internet.

Why would you want to use IP hider on a TOR browser if It's already anonymous in Itself? Bad side of Tor is that you can't download flashplayer or other programs like that , that are really useful and helpful.

How can i keep my bookmarks during the Bundle Update?
TOR browser bundle has standalone firefox broswer . Does it come with any risk of open port that may be listening to some remote malicious service ? You'll be safe with tor. Get the tails bundle and boot from a usb. Snowden approves ^^ if he who worked in the NSA use that and think it's safe then we should as well at least for a while till they found a parade

Suppose I am using a normal browser now to access my gmail. When I'll use TOR browser to access the same gmail from the same machine, will mail be able to identify the cookie ?

You can go on Tor for pretty much everything, except some sites do block tor for specific reasons. Just make sure you have Firefox, then go to https://www.torproject.org/download/download-easy.html.en and download it. After that extract to a folder and open it. Then tada it will open within a few seconds and now you're on Tor! No need for VPN or Proxy because it's Tor obviously, browse safely and make sure to keep away from stupid stuff such as cp, hitmans and shit. I use Tor when I wanna go on my certain emails that only can go on during on Tor or sometimes the hidden wiki just to browse what services they have. Have fun

I feel like tor is used more of illegal stuff than anything else, drugs weapons, and child porn are prime things happening there, also money laundering, getting hitmans and hackers ..... of course there are people that use it just to protect them self from all the drama happening nowadays and to preserve annonymity but right now I feel it's mostly about illegal stuff...

That is very true about it being used mostly for illegal means, however the same could be said about bitcoins.

Sorry, but most of that stuff you said isn't as bad as the rest of the Internet. There's some sites you can't even access Tor with. Down there, below Tor, you find Hardcore CP, hardcore gore, Line of Blood, hard drugs, rare animal trade, poaching, bounty hunters, Assassination Box, Hidden Wiki, banned videos, movies, and books, hardcore rape CP, hardcore snuff CP, group CP, scat, etc. Trust me. Tor isn't all that bad compared to that.

Satoshi used TOR I can't imagine the shit he would be or would have gone trough if he didn't do so right now, Imagine how many people would be tracking him either with good and especially with attention the guy owns hundred of millions if not more in bitcoins

child porn is bad. should be banned. the other illegal stuff should be legal.

go to the tor project, download the tor bundle and start to use. This way simple. Disable Javascript if you really really need to stay anonymous, and depending of what kind of activities you wanna engage, read more privacy guide(you can find some on the Hidden Wiki and around the Internet, including the Tor Project Itself)

But I have come across gore, and The Line of Blood. It's hard to bust anything going down there. Those sites have two hundred times more security then Silk Road, or any Blackmarket. Even hearing somebody mention a Line of Blood is pretty scarce.
