I've a few questions that I hope someone can help me out


- Why do we need to run Bitcoin full node or EPS (Electrum Personal Server) to provide full anonymity. How is it any different from using Trezor with Tor browser, or using Trezor with Electrum running on Tor?

- If this is the case with Bitcoin where I have to run Bitcoin full node or EPS to achieve full anonymity, does this apply to Ethereum as well and I have to run Ethereum full node, or it is sufficient to use TOR browser when receiving or sending ETH?

- Do I need to worry about Xpub being transmitted any time when making transactions or just making sure during initialising it for the first time it does not get leaked?

- Which way is better? generating seed phrase using ian coleman offline then restore it on trezor to ensure Xpub is not leaked to ISP or any VPN, or to use Electrum offline with Trezor to generate seed phrase?
