People often think that Tor is entirely anonymous but this is not true, you can be deanonymized. There has been cases before where law enforcement used patterns and traces left behind by Tor users to track down their real IP address, and thus their real identities. This has been mostly done to track down criminals, but the point is that it’s not only possible, but it has been done before.

It’s generally best practice to only use Tor sparingly in situations where you really need anonymity, and when you do use it, you should make sure to never use any information that could lead back to you in any way. Using Tor as a daily driver to browse the clearnet is malpractice. Not only do you risk being deanonymized due to your browsing habits, but you will also stick out like a sore thumb in traffic because while everybody else is driving a car to visit these sites, you would be driving a heavily armored tank.

If you plan to use it more leisurely anyway then at least stick to onion sites and communities that are designed for Tor’s anonymity. Though, I don’t recommend using Tor regularly unless you’re either a criminal doing some shady business, a whistleblower or a journalist dealing with sensitive information, an individual who wants to bypass heavy government censorship, or someone who’s being targeted by a state (and believe me, if 3 letter agencies want to track you down, then they will). I don’t think you’re any of these.

If you’re just someone who wants a strong, private browser for normal usage then download something Ironfox and pair it with a good no logs VPN service like Mullvad. That’ll be more than enough for the vast majority of people.
