    That isn’t how tor works, you’re getting better anonymity but it isn’t magically making a clear web site in to an onion site.

      Thanks for the comment!

      I explain poorly.

      The Tor Browser has this setting to redirect clearweb urls to onion urls.

      When used in the Tor browser, I can access reddit with it’s clearweb site (.com) and (with the “prioritize Tor sites” turned on) the url showing it as onion site (.onion).

      Hope I understand it right and with the setting turned on, tor indeed “magically makes clear web site to an onion site”.

      Not Tor-expert, hope I get this right. :)

      ETA: clarify
