      you can access the regular clearnet through tor.

      every tor browser is standardized therefore resistant to fingerprinting, plus you get a different IP every time.

        Do you expose yourself by joining the network, is there precautions to take? Is it the onion browser?

          yes, the tor browser is the easiest way to use tor. you expose to your ISP that you are using tor, but what you do in there is encrypted.

          if you live in a place that frowns upon merely using tor, the standard precaution is using the available tor bridges. it’s good practice to keep the tor browser stock.
