The Onion routing protocol is not as anonymous as you think it is. Whoever controls the exit nodes is the one who controls the traffic.

Wrong. The exit-node might control the traffic but that does not know where you came from. You need to watch the connection into the torrnetwork as well.

When you connect to https its pretty hard and risky for the exit node. If the user uses https with pinning its even harder and more risky.

The Tor Network is not perfect, nothing is in this space. So you need to make a more detailed analysis then yours to evaluate it.

But this is only the case when you connect to non .onion site, right?
I see you're running Gnome.
