However, the main goal of Tor Browser is not clear web browsing. Using a virtual private network (VPN) provides protection for this last step of the connection and is strongly recommended. If the website uses the old HTTP protocol, your traffic will not be secure. If the website uses HTTPS, your connection will still be encrypted and inaccessible to others. But remember, your traffic must emerge from the coverage of the Tor network to get to the website you want to visit. In either case, your network traffic is routed over the Tor network. The Tor Browser allows you to access websites on the Tor network as well as the regular web, known as the Clear Web. They encrypt your traffic and use other tricks to make backtracing and identifying your IP address difficult to the point of almost impossible. These perform the routing of Tor network traffic. The Tor network uses the regular Internet infrastructure as well as its own overlay network of volunteer Tor nodes. You can't reliably prevent visiting the same server anonymous and non-anonymously when you use two browsers at the same time.The Tor Project has created a free, anonymous computer network that anyone can use to maintain their privacy online. Also youtube runs google analytics and may other websites run google analytics as well. Many websites load content from youtube, so you never know. So you could say use Chromium for visiting youtube and remember not visiting youtube with Tor Browser? That won't work. In the event your internet connection breaks down (and it will eventually), all your connections will break at the same time and it won't be hard for an adversary to put the pieces together and determine what public IP belongs to what Tor IP, potentially identifying you directly. That is, do not create a Tor link and a non-Tor link to the same remote server at the same time. It's highly recommended that you do not connect to any remote server in this manner. TorifyHOWTO: Do not connect to any server anonymously and non-anonymously at the same time! It's better not to use other browsers at the same time. r/tor is not managed or endorsed by The Tor Project.
However, a VPN may help if Tor is censored by your network. You generally do not need to use a VPN in conjunction with Tor, and you may even hurt your anonymity by doing so.
