What's Your Usual Internet Routine? (lemmygrad.ml)

What is your routine when it comes to surfing on the internet? Do you remain anonymous at all times? Is there only one browser you use or a few? I'm quite new to this stuff and wonder what a pirate's usual routine is. I wonder if I should get the onion browser and use that only, or alternate between opera and the tor browser. Also, what efficient and smart methods do you guys use? (no i'm not fbi lol, im a 16 year old loser)

I pirate console games, so I cant speak, I use firefox and use google for search, so do as I say and not as I do. Google sucks and is spyware. Look up some other stuff, but I can say that DuckDuckGo is not private as advertised.

For regular activities, a regular browser without VPN is fine

For piracy, VPN is strongly advised (unless you live in Russia and some other jurisdictions where nobody cares)

For cosplaying cool hackers, go with Tor and onion sites (otherwise it's most likely an overkill). Also, DO NOT download large files over Tor if you don't have to. It's slow, it loads the network with already limited bandwidth, and it can drop suddenly.
