If I log into protonmail I have two choices
regular login
onion login
The regular address is
https://protonmail.com
The onion address is at
https://protonmail/com/tor & ends with ".onion"
While you can't get to the onion address with a "regular" browser, you can
get to both addresses with the tor browser bundle, so other than that, they look and act the same as far as I can tell (onion versus regular with tor).
But I'm not spying on me (or anyone, for that matter).
So I must be missing the special onion privacy stuff I guess.
What's so special about the protonmail onion address anyway?
(other than you have to use a tor browser to get to it)
What confuses me is you can get to both the regular and onion address using
the tor browser bundle so that's why I'm asking what the difference is.
I tried to look here to figure out what's different
https://proton.me/blog/tor-encrypted-email
But honestly, I didn't understand how the onion helps if you use a tor
browser to go to the regular protonmail url versus the onion address.
Can you give me a quick explanation of how onion protect privacy by
comparing what's different between these two tor browser scenarios?
Tor browser to the protonmail regular site
Tor browser to the protonmail onion site
TIA
