TOR is obvious too to someone snooping on your network, unless you're using bridges (and that's hit or miss). If you don't want someone to know you're using I2P, use OpenVPN and mask your traffic as HTTPS.

You're going to have to explain better about "I2P not masking your traffic" and especially about "someone identifying you" - timing attacks are possible in both cases and the I2P Devs have mitigations against it. Please provide sources which define how I2P is weaker and more susceptible to TOR against network forensics
