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?

I think that the pro's are worth it, but it is really a personal decision.
