What are you so confused about.

Tor, which you are keep bringing up as the "simple" solution, has a host of security problems with it as well.

Even Tor flat out gives instructions to never give out personal information on web forms that pass through their networks.

On top of that, a fair number of sites and services refuse to work with Tor.

I guess it's not the "simple" solution you keep trying to reduce this situation to.....




The only "safe" solution to this problem is to buy a subscription service with an organization with a clear ISP and VPN into it.

Totally different issue than circumventing ISPs tracking browsing history. You know that. Tor is very specific about security do's and don't's.

Insofar as hacking, even if one ignores Tor security flaws, logs https:// rather than https:// etc., the "hacking" risk to an individual user is still very very very very low, practically speaking. I presume you know that as well.

Everything is relative, isn't it. Relative to privacy in the current environment, and people's naive assessment of it, Tor is quite the simple solution.
