> 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).
