So I want to make Tor THE browser I use, but if I still log into accounts on it will I even be private at all?

Create new accounts while on Tor and only use those accounts on Tor. Don't use full names or better yet anything that can come back to you. Even pictures. Logging into any personal account used on your home, work, school network on Tor will break anonymity. They can just correlate who/where you are.

Um.... Tor is not a browser, it is the protocol and web of systems the a browser transits to obscure identity.

He's talking about The Tor Browser, which is the official browser created with Tor and anonymity in mind, based on the Firefox ESR.

TECHNICALLY correct, which is the best kind of correct. However it's pretty obvious he's talking about TBB.

Well I'd say it's a browser in the same way Pale Moon or Epic are browsers. If I have tor running, I'm not going to say I'm on Firefox.
