Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Replying to [comment:27 yawning]:
 > How is using a site over Tor through an exit, with a CA signed TLS cert
 any less secure than using an `onion` over HTTP.

 There's the risk of MiTM by the exit, or due to the flawed CA system
 itself - as happened in the past for Tor Project infrastructure with CA
 DigiNotar [1], in comparison with a 0 risk for a MiTM with onion services.
