Tor Developers and UX team worked together to bring a new user experience for Tor Browser users, so when a user visits an onion site using HTTP [Tor Browser doesn't display a warning or error message](https://support.torproject.org/onionservices/onionservices-5/).

-3. One of the risks of using a certificate issued by a CA is that .onion names might unintentionally get [leaked](https://crt.sh/?q=.onion) due to [Certificate Transparency](https://certificate.transparency.dev/) if the onion service owners use HTTPS for their .onions. If you still want to use HTTPS, there is an [open proposal](https://github.com/alecmuffett/onion-dv-certificate-proposal/blob/master/tex...) to allow Tor Browser to verify self-created https cert (where you can make your own https cert chain using your onion key to sign it, and Tor Browser knows how to verify a self-created chain like that), because not only do you not need to involve a third-party in making it, you don't need to reveal to a third-party that it exists. +3.

4. Some websites have a complex setup and are serving HTTP and HTTPS content. In that case, just using onion services over HTTP could leak [secure cookies](https://github.com/alecmuffett/eotk/blob/master/docs.d/security-advisories.d...).
