Thank you for the link. I find it very explanatory for me and a nice resource to explain to others what TOR and HTTPS can protect from.
I understand that using HTTPS through Tor can provide to NSA your rough location (entry node) and the site you are browsing to. But your user name and password will be safe (assuming that NSA cannot hack HTTPS). Using HTTPS only can provide the same information to NSA as the HTTPS+TOR, so for httpS sites Tor does not provide extra security against NSA?
If my understanding is correct then Tor would provide only value when using Tor services, aka onion sites, but not when using public Internet services?!
I would appreciate if somebody could provide their expertise on this.
