Comment:
tor doesn't report nor send `.onion` addresses to torproject.org "server".
Relays are the one collecting statistics for the HS traffic and the
_number_ of .onion they've seen while being hidden service directory.
Furthermore, those numbers are obfuscated before being reported every 24
hours.
The tor client (here TBB) _never_ use .onion for reporting or even use it
for any statistics. If you still think this is something your TBB client
does, re-open and give us more details but that's absolutely not the tor
intended behavior.
