It might depend on the VPN provider. If it's someone like Google, no way.
But Mullivad that has a proven track record of not keeping logs, that might be worth it.
I've also heard tor over i2p but don't know enough about the latter to have an opinion
I think the other aspect is that you could be adding more things to make you stand out amongst other tor users.
there’s a more technical term for all this but I can’t recall what it is
Differentiators? The idea behind the tor browser specifically is to make it harder to fingerprint you by giving trackers the exact same information for each browser session across all its users, making it harder to differentiate between one user and another.
This is what I wars thinking of, thank you!
