TOR is quite slow. Just use VPN

You have to place a lot of trust in a VPN provider (there is no way to verify a no-logging policy), and in the VPN provider's ISP.

You have to put trust into Tor exit nodes as well. Tor is great tool for anonymity but yet it is not perfect. I know that in some countries if you try to run a node goverment agencies will knock on your dor, others will start to track your activity (like the case with my country). Which lets many goverments agencies to host their own exit nodes. If you use Tor long enough higher chance is that you will go through "compromied" node and thus they can reveal your identity. Tor is good tool, but it is far from perfect, you still have to know what you are doing to keep yourself private.

From OP post, he is saying tor browser - yes it could help but it is not recommended to use it on your ordinary computer (OS), that's why tails exist or whonix whit snapshots of your VM.
