If you're using Tor surely you should be disabling third-party and non-onion assets and JavaScript?

Not all entry points do the most paranoid thing, and not options are even available on all entry points.

The Tor Browser Bundle (desktop) has different defaults than Orfox (phone), and I think both will connect to non-onion URLs when connecting to an onion site. Same for JS, ad-block, etc.
