I presume you are using Tails with a persistent volume, because every time you reboot... you resort to a old version of the Electrum wallet? So, did you download the latest Electrum wallet and installed it on the persistent volume?

Use this guide ==> https://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tails.html to configure Tails to use the most current version of Electrum on Tails. (The risk of using a persistent volume is not having a "clean" boot after each reboot)  Tongue

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

o_e_l_e_o: that's absolutely true. However, if there was a way for you to completely anonymize the very  fact that you own cryptocurrency, or even a crypto wallet, you'd arguably be safe(ish), right?

Being completely anonymous* would certainly help to protect you against a number of attacks, such as attacks targeted against you specifically, malware directed against you specifically, $5 wrench attacks, physical compromise of your devices, attacks against your back ups, etc. However, it does not make you safe from any untargeted attacks such as clipboard malware or malicious wallet software.

*Glossing over the fact that it is close to impossible to be completely anonymous online.
