Blocking port 80 isn't safe for users: it doubles the number of exits that they must use, which doubles their risk of a malicious exit.

The risk of using port 443 is much lower than the risk of using port 80, because information passed through 443 port is normally encrypted and authenticated.

How does the number of exits being affect the risk for users (given only 443 port is used)? IIUC the more servers the better, because harder to spy on a significant part of them.
