I found a way to use RSS over tor. since I don’t really know how rss works, this might be a good question since I had a problem opening links in rss when using a tor proxy. but I’m probably willing to give up that function if it gives me more privacy.

    I think it is a good idea, but I don’t think it is a significant concern anyways.

    Pros:

    • Avoids sharing your IP with the site.
    • Avoids leaking domain information (DNS + SNI)

    Cons:

    • Slower.
    • Slightly more resource intensive.

    Since RSS is generally an async background job the cons are basically non-existent so why not get the minor privacy benefits?
