Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Replying to [comment:35 cypherpunks]:
 > There are use cases where just an onion site isn't secure at all, like
 having the tor process running on a separate PC/Router etc.

 While you can modify the Tor Browser configuration today I believe it's
 discouraged to do it. When you manually remove it's default configuration
 to use a non local tor process you are opting-in to degrade the privacy
 and security features not just for onion websites.
