Tor (64-bit browser bundle) or Abrowser with Adblock Plus and Privacy Badger (EFF)?

They are both totally different approaches which you cannot really compare. I would also distinguish between privacy and anonymity.

I agree with Eben Moglen that privacy is really a combination of anonymity (which you protect with Tor) and secrecy (which you protect with encryption).

It is of course Tor.
The second solution means you are naked but _some_ advertising companies can't see you.
Tor protects your privacy in a lot more ways (see for instance https://www.eff.org/pages/tor-and-https).
Keep in mind that tor can only hide your identity if it's used the right way:

Real anonymity is not possible with Tor only. You have to combine a set of solutions, like mac randomization, anoymous internet access from public wireless, vpn and Tor.

Even by using this techniques you might still get identified by service provides like google, which e.g. analyse your typing style.

Can you give some references for this statement?
Normally those techniques are not necessary.

"Even by using this techniques you might still get identified by service provides like google, which e.g. analyse your typing style."
Analysing your typing style they can only _guess_ that it's you but they will never know for sure.
We should not mix this up with the reveiling of your ip adress.
Please don't spread FUD.

Starting with Belenos, Tor is included by default for Incognito window. In form of xul-ext-torproxy + tor client.

For those interested in hosting own relay node, I suggest hardened image made by a developer from Gentoo project that fits into RAM with small memory footprint. d-_-b \m/
