Agreed – you can never truly be completely "safe", but Tor remains the most privacy-preserving tool we've got.
When people say they're distrustful of Tor (for various reasons) to the extent they refuse to use it, they seldom suggest alternative tools/measures that provide anywhere near the level of safety offered by Tor.
