Tor can be downloaded via their page, but it can also be installed via the terminal (and turned off and on through services tor start/stop). My question is , what exactly is the difference between these two ?
Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! Is your question about tor or tor-browser? Also, please ask one question at a time and make title descriptive (e.g. "What is the difference between installing tor from its homepage and from the command line?") I think you should add the tag "command-line" and remove "16.04", as this question is not specific to 16.04.
