Basically the only way to be 100% secure would be to create your own “private tor” by building a botnet, then making sure to burn/recycle the nodes, and only access it via a proxy gateway consisting of a raspberry pi that you purchased with cash, and paid a homeless dude to plug into the router at a public library in a city where you don’t live.
But realistically most peoples use cases fall somewhere on the spectrum between normal browsing and this extreme scenario. If you are doing something that illegal you probably need better opsec across the board. Most of the arrested darknet dudes got caught because of sloppy opsec in other areas, not because the Tor network failed.
