outbox model will connect you to clearnet relays anyway - at least for reading.

Using coracle in tor browser and all good

Didnt know this.

So if I am using a native nostr or web app with only Tor relays, and this app supports outbox, the privacy benefits are lost?

Well not entirely, as long as all your connections go over Tor, the clearnet nostr relay connections will go through multiple Tor relays and then a Tor exit relay before it connects to the clearnet nostr relay. It will probably look something like this : Your Tor traffic -> Tor relay -> Tor Relay -> Tor exit node -> clearnet nostr relay.

And yes, If your native app sends some requests over clearnet and some over TOR, you'd pretty much lose the privacy benefits
