Mainly because I hate trackers. These days I'm using Tor for at least half of my web browsing. My desktop also runs QubesOS, the web browsers (both Tor Browser and the regular browser) are in their own disposable VMs. Once the window is closed, the system is reset and whatever cookies or exploits would all be gone permanently.

Logging in websites while using tor is completely useless.

It's slow af and various site traffic blocking tools get triggered by it.
