Both are not completely safe,but safe for some purposes and for some not.
u/Negativefeedback2021 : VPN keep logs despite guaranteeing they do not and sell it to the governments if thing is important (of course those companies avoid being caught red-handed)
tor+vpn is "safest" but of course there are ways to cheat it too for intelligence community in USA probably.After many sharks of cybercrime are catched somehow...
Things safe according to Snowden leaks may be not so safe if we Trust Q being quite pissed off about Snowden as Snowden being "CIA asset" and traitor really according to Q.Also: those leaks are outdated.
PS: u/Negativefeedback2021 : I doubt it is intel. Remember: releasing intel would be illegal.Also: releasing this thing such way is obvious way to make interested enemies (so: Chinese and Deep State) informed sooner or later. Probably they might know what is in sooner than us even.So or they are unable to stop it anyway,or...
we might be cannon fodder...
It all depends against who or what and how you configure it really
Agreed that against some American government agency this is usually explosive mixture which could blow on your face if you do it.
If you configure it properly and you pay with cryptocurrencies launded in tor network (well but money laundering is considered illegal) then some dangers can be migrated - some still not.
It is still not "silver bullet" but neither tor or vpn alone are.
