    I’ve read that there are more effective ways to deanonymize tor traffic that goes through exit nodes, as opposed to accessing onion services which is more secure

      Yeah it’s a spectrum, which basically runs from regular browsing -> VPN -> Tor browser for regular sites -> Tor browser for .onion sites. (And note that even .onion sites don’t need to be obscure Silk Road type sites - for example, this is DuckDuckGo. That’s still a legal privacy use case.)
