Thanks for the replies. I keep most in paper wallets, which use BIP38 encryption.
I was just wondering about small, shopping transactions in https://blockchain.info/ for convenience sake, since it's very easy to fire up Tor browser and access your account.
I will bear in mind that there is a slight risk of exploiting Tor exit nodes and give it a try.
Topic: Is a blockchain.info wallet in Tor browser secure? - page 3. (Read 3797 times)
Suppose I create an online wallet with https://blockchain.info/ in Tor browser and keep a small stash of BTC in there. It's an anonymous stash, right? So long as I only access via Tor browser, use change addresses and send BTC wisely.
But I've recently read about people running Tor exit nodes and maliciously sniffing the data through them, so I was wondering if this is a safe way of having an online wallet without anyone gaining access to my password/BTC.
Any thoughts?

Tor data is encrypted. So I'm not sure how sniffing can expose you to vulnerability.
On the other hand, blockchain.info wallet scripting is client side. So, I think, even if u use Static IP, still you are secure...
There have been multiple exploits at exit node. On exit node it actually pulls up site so it is visible when there is a operational exploit.
The nodes in the middle you are correct they dont see end traffic.
Every once in a while there will be a exploit at exit nodes.
I would not trust it myself for anything important.
