Excellent post. Still very relevant 5+ years later. Tor is an excellent utility and it's important to know how to properly use it. Just like anything else available in any category of life... if you don't know how to properly use it then you probably shouldn't be using it.

*Therefore, the trustworthiness of the websites you contact is not relevant, since the data you and they send has to pass through an untrusted thrid party.*

I would hope the trustworthyness of the website is relevant still. Both of those layers of the onion, the TOR exit node, and the webserver might be the weak link in the chain on onion layers.

Thank you very much for this article. I appreciate the extra security you have just granted me! Have you considered HTTPS everywhere as another layer of protection? I use it.
