What are some best practices to maintain an acceptable degree of privacy and anonymity while browsing the internet?

Should I chain a VPN with Tor or are obfs4 bridges are safe enough?

Which email clients are safe to use with Tor? If there isn't any, how can I configure mine to be secure?

According to Tor Browser design document[1], Tor Browser builds new circuits for each new domain and isolate all cookies, TLS session IDs and other identifying information on URL level. If this is true, then why is it widely recommended to restart Tor (or Tails) if the user wants to unlink his current activity from what he is about to do next?

Are there any known exploits that can penetrate TBB instances configured with safest options?

Are there any other browsers, text browsers especially, that can meet design requirements of TBB?[2]

Am I missing anything here that you would like to add?

people recommend vpns, protonmail and ublock

people are idiots

"restarting" tor is extremely harmful behavior. it makes easier to correlate your activity

>Are there any known exploits that can penetrate TBB instances configured with safest options?

none

>Are there any other browsers, text browsers especially, that can meet design requirements of TBB?

you would have unique useragent and fingeprint

It's a failsafe strategy, not a strict requirement.
