Get Tor Browser and/or Tails OS. When privacy is important and you need to be anonymous, use only Tor-friendly instances only via Tor (never once log in showing your real IP - if you accidentally do that, you'll have to re-create another account as a different person).

When an email address is necessary to sign up, get one anonymously (again using Tor Browser), from a privacy-centric company or group, e.g. Tutanota, Disroot. Needless to say never ever use Gmail. https://tosdr.org/en/service/217

Still no guarantee of privacy. Tor exit nodes have been known to have been monitored, and tons of sites seized.

He's talking about instances with .onion addresses, you never touch an exit node.
