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.

    RSS is simply a URL that, when accessed, returns an XML file with the content. A RSS reader just polls this URL every x minutes and checks if there is new content. So the only possible tracking should be the IP address used to connect and maybe the connection times. It’s up to you to decide if using tor for this is overkill
