When a website can be accessed via a clearnet and a .onion url, is there a benefit to making use of the .onion url?
Context:
I am considering pointing a “.onion” url to my instance (mander.xyz).
I did some tests with and it seems like mlmym works well with JavaScript disabled. Since JavaScript is often disabled in the tor browser, I could make the .onion url point at that front-end instead.
This would be fun to do, but I wonder if there is a practical benefit to the “.onion” url as opposed to simply accessing the clearnet url via the tor browser.
I think its just the non-exit nodes that are needed as long as the traffic stays inside the tor network, I dont think an exit node gets involved at all, but I’m not 100% sure
