The downside of everything being federated is that it’s really easy to listen in. Make sure to keep yourself anonymous online!

What else are you going to use? Also Tor is highly resistant to attacks and it is very hard to trace traffic even if you control a sizable amount of the network. I think using Tor for random stuff once and a while is good as it mixes in junk with sensitive stuff.
I think the actual risk for a single low priority individual is low. However, run a node of you can. Also install the snowflake extension
I didn’t say don’t use it, I am just making a note for those that don’t know Tor and expect it to be the 1 tool to rule them it all.
Yes, some of the attacks I mentioned have been mitigated, but that’s no reason to assume it is 100% foolproof. Clearly, it wasn’t before.
The browser is much weaker than the network itself. Stay up to date with security patches and run Tor in a live environment like Tails OS
Again, just saying not to lean on Tor as your only privacy tool that is 100% foolproof. The comment I originally applied to made it seem like Tor is the only thing you need.
Even your suggestion includes a secondary tool.
