Tor Browser hides some of your information. For example it hides your IP address (that's the whole point of Tor). There are some other anti-tracking things built in.
> Websites with .onion addresses are more resistant to tracking
Tracking you or tracking the site? The point of .onion isn't to give the user any more protection, it's to give the website protection. With a .onion site you are unable to find the website's IP address.

True, but that's not why the BBC, Facebook, etc. have .onion hosts. I was thinking of the user, since the traffic between a Tor exit node and an open web server is exposed (modulo HTTPS).
