How Chainalysis Flags Crypto Suspects for Cops
The biggest worry for regular users (since the real criminals mostly know how to hide) is when they falsely flag their transactions as suspicious since we all know that all blockchain analysis algorithms have many flaws and can never be completely accurate.

never look up on your own transaction on blockchain explorers.
If you use Tor to check your transactions on block explorers, no problem will break your privacy.If you don't use Tor, your privacy will be captured by block explorers and from which such data can be leaked further to other entities: governments, other third-party companies, ie.
People preaching privacy make me laugh. They talk about privacy by saying this and that but they are among the first to use centralized services. An exchange platform is the most demonstrative example. There's no point in using solutions like TOR for privacy or setting up your own node if, in the end, it's to use an exchange.
The reality is the majority of people are not interested in privacy at all. And as proof, they have no problem sending their document to verify their identity. Also, the majority is only there to make money from speculation. Very few people are only in it for the technical side
If someone wants an easy solution to run your Bitcoin and Lightning node they can take a look at Umbrel. It's easy to set up n any Microsoft or GNU/Linux OS and it runs on Tor by default. You can also install to it a mempool visualizer, a private backing server for Samourai wallet, and much more...
You can even install it on a Raspberry PI (but with RPI 4, otherwise the specs are too low)

You say that you have few thouhts about privacy but all you do is recommending us to read some old news article and you quoting what is written there.
Be more creative with clickbait titles please or write some thoughts not quotes

There is discussion going on about this on this forum since few days ago, you can check it here:
Chainalysis runs Electrum nodes.
The best for privacy is to run your own full node rather than depending on central servers, make use of Tor and never look up on your own transaction on blockchain explorers.

I recommend everyone to read this article.

Another way Chainalysis captures Bitcoin user data is by running nodes that verify transactions, the documents confirm. This allows the company to capture data leaks on the publicly accessible internet, or clearnet, from users’ simplified payment verification (SPV) wallets. Those services were designed to prioritize easy storage over foolproof security (although to be fair they are arguably more secure than wallets that rely on APIs to verify transactions)."
