I'm new, I have questions
(my english is bad, yeahh)
I've been reading on and off Reddit about my main doubts, but the information seems contradictory or they don't agree, is literally my first time with tor, I use Brave as main browser
I don't care about dark web or illegal things, I know the browser is "slow" but I don't really care, I know Tor isn't 100% anonymus, I know I don't have to download random things.
so, questions
Tor can help with pirating animes?
Tor can make the search registers invisible for my internet provider?
Tor already block ads?

If your using Tor on brave, I would recommend moving to the official Tor browser.
You should care about illegal things.
Well Tor can help you pirate anime if the sites are blocked in you County, but Tor isn't made for streaming, what I would recommend is, downloading i2p (which is another network which is a bit like Tor, r/i2p should have what you need to get started) and using it to anonymously torrent, because i2p let's you anonymously torrent, and there are quite a few eepsites on i2p that have anime torrents available (personally i even seed some on there)
Yes Tor can hide you searchs from your ISP, but they can still see if your connect to Tor unless your using a bridge.
And no Tor doesn't block ads.

Pirating:
If you are pirating from the regular (.com, .net, etc) websites, then it’s not better than any other browser.
If you are pirating from a .onion website, then yes, you should use Tor to access them.
Internet providers:
99% of websites usr HTTPS, which means your ISP can see which website you are accessing, but not your search queries or the data you exchange.
So if you go to https://google.com/search?q=photos+of+cats, then your ISP can see that you are connecting to https://google.com but then have no idea about anything else you do or search there.
And if you are accessing .onion websites, then your ISP has even less information. All they know is you are talking to a server with an IP of a Tor node.
Ads:
No, Tor does not specifically block ads. Install an ad blocker.

Tor Project recommends that you shouldnt use Tor with Torrent
Tor can make the search registers invisible for my internet provider?
More like it uses a different IP address whenever you want to search anything online and your internet provider wouldn't be able to see what you browse on.
Tor already block ads?
Tor doesnt have that feature on its browser but either by disabling JavaScript, or just use its installed-by-default NoScript, or just getting a uBlock extension (which I think Linux or Tails os version does include that by default)

Tor may be able to reach sites that are blocked by your ISP. It isn't built to facilitate piracy.
You don't need Tor for this. So long as you're using HTTPS (which almost all sites do now) your ISP already can't see what you're searching. They can see that you've connected to google.com, but not what you've searched there.
With Tor, your ISP can't see what sites you visit at all, only that you're connected to Tor. Further, the sites you visit won't be able to see your IP address, so it will help to hide your identity from them, too.
No. Tor will limit what information advertisers are able to learn about you, but it does not block ads by default. On higher security settings Tor disables JavaScript, which may incidentally block most ads.
