tor has it's place. you can't use tor as your only browser (unless your life depends on your anonymity). There's mull (hardened firefox) for daily needs or mullvad browser on desktop.
what os are you on?
if you're on android: I no longer use it, but blokada is simple enough to start with and learn about dns, ip &c. I thought trackerControl too was instructive but you won't stop there either.
if you're on a desktop, try piHole instead.
on Mac i've found Vallum to be the most efficient. With piHole it becomes redundant.
on windows the best solution was to install linux instead 😅
don't use your ISPs DNS server, neither google.
read other threads on this community, then follow the links to read from sources instead.
good luck
