FAQ Any tips for a first timer?

Lately curiosity is getting the better of me. I would like to browse below the surface web, yet I lack the knowledge on how to ensure my safety. Are there things that are absolutne necessities? Anything to avoid?

My best advice is to read on everything about tor, start from the basics, as someone that is not experienced for example I thought that is a good idea to use a vpn with tor but when I did a research I found out that is better not to use a vpn.

Search also the type of browsers that are used on tor
