Not a snark; it’s a genuine question: What’s the point of using Tor if you’re gonna be signed into a website? That deanonymizes you, no? Also, doesn’t Tor have (relatively) huge latency and really slow speeds due to all the hops?

Tor has its uses; I just don’t see the point in uses it for everything.

I might sign into a web site willingly, but I might not want the perhaps dozens of other companies' assets which I pull in also identifiying me, and tracking my habits.

Why wouldn't one use it for everything? That would seriously damage the Internet tracking industry, who after all is the Internet user's enemy or at best, hostile adversary.

You can hurt the internet tracking industry by just using uBlock and uMatrix

[MintelIE]

I already do, but I can hurt it even more by always using Tor Browser. Heck, it's even fast enough these days to watch Youtube and handle torrents.

For privacy. From your ISP to the website itself fingerprinting you.

Perhaps I want to be Joe Blow from Carton OH on triplebyte. Tor allows this. Otherwise TripleBytes might see my ip is based in Iran and they might block me. I still want an account with my different test results.
