[tor-talk] Question about Circuit Separation

This is a question about Tor Browser in specific.

I've found a number of websites [0] [1] [2] that explicitly warn of
visiting your personal website over tor. The explanation is always that
if you "access other sites in the same session", an eavesdropper would
deduce that it was the owner of the (little-read) personal site.

Doesn't Tor Browser use a new circuit for each domain? Is the advice
faulty or am I missing something?
