If you use strong passwords and don't have malware on your computer, then no. Given those, you can use any browser and you won't be compromised. Tor only provides anonymity, not security.

Does Btc-e have a tor (.onion) address or are you just accessing their clearnet site via tor?
I would be surprised if they had a real tor address.

~This topic should really be moved to the appropriate board if a mod happens to see this.

Yes, it can be compromised, if you log through TOR browser. You must check through Google - safe TOR nodes, and then adjust your TOR browser.  ;D

Can you share here what nodes are secure and safe?
