Is feather wallet better for privacy than plain monero-cli?
Also, isn't monero routed through tor by default?
If not, how can I make sure the network traffic goes through tor?
Well, it's recommended because it's open source, well-known, and reliable. As for the question privacy than plain monero-cli??" it's simply because for most people, Feather Wallet is much easier to use than the CLI.
But be sure to read https://www.getmonero.org/resources/user-guides/tor_wallet.html (CLEARNET WARNING)
If you want to ensure it's routed through Tor using the CLI,
If you want to proxy through Tor, use torsocks as described in the README.md file
DNS_PUBLIC=tcp torsocks ./monerod --p2p-bind-ip 127.0.0.1 --no-igd --rpc-bind-ip 127.0.0.1 --data-dir /home/amnesia/Persistent/your/directory/to/the/blockchain
I believe, if i'm wrong feel free to correct me
