[tor-talk] Anonymity of RSS readers

[Christian Stadelmann]

Hi

I want to read some RSS feeds and still care about anonymity.

To do that I have to choose a RSS reader which is
a) not using Tor
I think this is a bad idea since I will open some (maybe 10%) of the
feeds in torbrowser – this would undermine tor
OR
b) using Tor
This is a bad idea too since I regularly fetch some hundred RSS/Atom
files, some of them via unencrypted HTTP. This would clearly undermine
all anonymity provided by tor. This problem gets even worse when the RSS
reader loads content (e.g. images, JavaScript, ...) when displaying the
feeds.

What can I do?

I have only one slight idea of a solution: Use a RSS reader which
fetches all files via tor with a random lag between [1]. It MUST load all
content (images, ...) instantly OR remove and never display it.

Do you know such software?
