I use both.
It might be overkill, but i hate the thought of being profiled and assaulted with ads. It's disgusting what the Internet has become.
Fun fact, my mobile provider introduced a live ads program so every time I go the mall I get SMS messages with promotions from some of the closest shops.
This shitty behaviour cannot be stopped neither by Tor and VPN...
Wow that's digusting. Can't you opt out?
Yes, I have to send them a request by email, and they have 30 working days to respond. But this doesn't mean I won't be tracked wherever I go, I just won't receive SMS messages anymore.
