Privacy is not the same as anonymity, people should not get this confused

Unfortunately people use these terms interchangeably all the time. Only a handful of people here know the actual difference.



[...] but did you still know you can use electrum to achieve high level of privacy?

A wallet which leaks tons of confidential information shouldn't be used to preserve your privacy in the first place.
While you definitely can increase your privacy with electrum, it requires quite some effort. There are better alternatives available (Core, Wasabi, ..).
Basically any wallet which doesn't send a random server all of your addresses is already better in terms of privacy.
