To be honest, I am concerned about the anonymity in Nostr. If you suddenly don't know, then when you view your account through the web version, then:

1) Every relay knows your referrer (site name)

2) Relay knows your IP address, and probably your npub (when there is a request to subscribe to a feed about a certain user - about you yourself)

Also, if you correspond with someone in a personal chat, everyone can find out with whom and how many messages (only they do not know the text of the correspondence). All this is quite dangerous for those who want to remain anonymous. For example, in totalitarian regimes it is very dangerous.

Any website you visit the owner of the website knows your IP address.

Some best practices on Nostr:

Always use a reputable VPN.

Never enter your private key into a a web client. (Use Alby instead)

The Amethyst client on Android stores your private key locally on your phone and it's not transmitted to the app owner.
