Tor is a bit different, but with a paid-for VPN provider, even if you pay with Bitcoin, they have full access to all your browsing activities, and full access to details of all the places where you browse from.

It is not impossible for the police to put this together from other sources, but a VPN makes it so much easier for them.

What I'm saying is, if you want to hide something, you need to make it look normal so it doesn't stand out.

Just like, if you want to burgle an office building, you turn up with a dirty white van and a hi-viz jacket.
