re: Are VPNs worthless?

I currently use private internet access (PIA) for home use. It works pretty great and I can choose any server locations of my choosing locally or internationally. However, the only protection a VPN will offer is to conceal your IP address. If you are using Chrome for example, google is still tracking all of your searches, browsing, and behavior. This is called digital fingerprinting. They track the operating system you use,sites you frequent etc. This is to paint a digital canvas that will know who you are no matter the IP address you are using.

But if you combine a VPN with TOR browswer, you are ok?
