I personally, since a long time, either look up addresses over the Tor version of blockchain explorers, or just use my own Bitcoin node.
Why do you think using the TOR version is safer? Couldn't that be a great honeypot as well? Someone creates a TOR-only blockchain explorer that logs addresses. Your IP is protected, that's true. Unless the TOR server you are connected to is also malicious.
Well, when I use Tor Browser and use the Tor version of the website, it won't see my home IP. The Tor blockchain explorer can log anything it wants; they won't see my home IP address and also every time I restart Tor Browser or open a new tab, I have a new Tor IP as well (at least when restarting). An attacker would need access to lots of Tor nodes to map my identity to the query on the website.
It's not as good as just asking your own home node locally, but if you don't have one, it's better than clearnet
