Usually, whenever a Tor user is surfing around, their connection exits the Tor network at some point to reach a destination on the internet.

But with Onion Services, the communication from one point to another happens entirely inside the Tor network, all the time.

I guess I was holding onto some fearmongering from the silk road days when i swear everyone was saying not to use TOR because it was all owned. It's good to know that onion addresses can be accessed without revealing any info. If you accidentally navigate from a Tor site to a clearweb site how much is potentially given away, assuming the exit node is compromised?

I wouldn't go as far as claiming it doesn't reveal any info, all I'm saying here is that there are more security guarantees, and demonstrated security failures of Tor related to adversarial exit nodes don't necessarily apply to onion services. I don't really know much beyond that.
