I used to use Tor to surf surface + deep webs, but not the dark web — basically a substitute for the common browsers but without the incessant tracking and attempts at personalization.
I do agree that a VPN + Tor, disabling JS, and avoiding identifying forms are up there in terms of safety measures. I’d add that using Tor on Android is also iffy, but I’m still looking into it.

Have you tried using the Mullvad Browser then? It’s literally just the Tor Browser with the Tor parts removed. So it has all the security and anti-fingerprinting stuff but doesn’t connect to the Tor network.
Unless I misunderstood and you’re still connecting to the Tor network…

I thought using a VPN with Tor was a no no.
Why would it be bad idea to use both? According to Tor+VPN, provided you connect to VPN first, it should be fine.
Idk I don’t use tor. Documentation on the website recommends not to.

Thanks, I’ll take a look!
