The dark web conjures up all kinds of scary imagery but it also has many cool and useful sites (called .onion sites) to check out.
Tor isn’t just a privacy tool. It also allows you to access the “dark web”, which is a part of the internet that isn’t indexed by search engines and consists of “onion sites”. These sites have URLs that end in .onion (rather than .com, .org, etc.) and are only accessible via Tor (The Onion Router).
While some of the content on the dark web ranges from the disturbing to the highly illegal, there’s still plenty of rather normal content there. And in recent years, more and more “clear web” websites are offering .onion URLs which can be used to access them more securely.
