It may even be less safe because
it is a single collection point for connection info AND data
and people may be fooled into trusting it.
The site admits it is a middleman for regular and SSL connections.
Also, it is in Germany so it is subject to their data retention laws,
regardless how nice the owner is.
The only thing i might use such a site for would be convenience, e.g.
if i can't install Tor and would like to access a .onion website.
