Hi, Sorry if this sounds a bit stupid but looking for some clarification. I've read that using HTTPS over Tor actually reduces your security due to the bypass of your local proxy (Privoxy, etc) - is this the case for all usage or does it justs affect hidden services? For example, if I am accessing Hushmail via a Tor-enabled Firefox browser, is that traffic not protected by the anonymized circuit or otherwise less secure than a connection to a port 80 web site?
