… isn’t using Tor on the traditional internet a very bad idea, since it exposes all users to the tracking ecosystem?
Tor’s primary purpose is to access clearnet sites, hidden services are secondary.
Please watch the video and read our overview page here: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/advanced/tor-overview/
It’s not a very bad idea. Tor browser provides good tracking resistance in clearnet, but there are more chances that uneducated person leaks personal information there and at the same time will have a false feeling of safety because they are using Tor, not Google Chrome.
Thanks for clarifying. It’s been a long time since I used Tor
Bad compared to what alternative?
Tor specific websites. Those not found on Google or other common search engines.
You’re at the mercy of whoever’s running the endpoint
