Dark websites that are worth visiting......
Although the dark web doesn’t host any search engines like Google, it’s still possible to navigate the landscape of the dark web through search engines and directories – if you know where to look. A number of the following sites might help you along your way. Remember that you need to open these onion links in the Tor Browser for them to work.
Is the Dark Web Illegal?
Using Tor to access the dark web isn’t illegal. But while browsing the dark web won’t get you into any legal trouble, engaging in illicit activities would. For example, purchase drugs or firearms through the dark web is illegal, and you’ll be held liable for your actions.
Caution: Visiting Dark Web Links? Safety First!
If you venture on the dark web, it’s wise to take some safety measures. Since the dark web is unregulated, there is an increased risk of malware infections and cyber criminals going after your data. Make sure you have antivirus software installed and always use a VPN. A VPN encrypts and secures all your internet traffic. It safeguards your online privacy and protects you against certain forms of cybercrime.
To get started, you could try out Surfshark. For just a couple of dollars a month, Surfshark protects all your internet data with heavy encryption, so it becomes far more difficult for others to intercept your data. Plus, you become anonymous when using Surfshark, since your IP address will be hidden. This prevents governments, internet service providers and hackers from tracing your online steps. Surfshark offers a 30 days money-back-guarantee, so you can try it risk-free. Once you’ve got Surfshark, you’ll be able to explore dark web links in a much safer manner.
1. Hidden Wiki
The Hidden Wiki is a dark web version of Wikipedia where you can find links to different websites on the dark web. As you may notice in this article, many onion links seem nonsensical, as they consist of a combination of many random numbers and letters. This makes it difficult to find the website you’re looking for. The Hidden Wiki does a lot of the searching for you. Moreover, they provide informative pages on a range of topics that can be an interesting read.
Be careful, however. Make sure you don’t click on a link to something you don’t want to see, because the Hidden Wiki doesn’t just index legal websites. In fact, there are many different “Hidden Wiki” sites out there. The Hidden Wiki used to be known for hosting, or at least indexing, a bunch of pedophile websites and has therefore been the subject of cyberattacks by the FBI and Anonymous. Many copycats and spin-offs of the Hidden Wiki have also been created. Don’t be surprised if you come across multiple versions of “The Official” or “The Uncensored” Hidden Wiki. It’s best to stay away from these spin-off sites, however. Most Hidden Wiki sites to this day provide links to some parts of the dark web you wouldn’t want to visit. The best way to deal with this, is to stick to the categories that are relatively risk-free.
2. Facebook
This is a mirror website of the real Facebook. By creating a Facebook account on the dark web, you can attempt to do so completely anonymous. However, this takes a lot of work, because, as we know, Facebook likes collecting all the data they can.
More importantly, this mirror version of the social network is a way around government censorship. Some regimes censor social media or make them completely inaccessible for their citizens. They do this to eliminate any form of opposition. By using the dark web version of Facebook, people can attempt to stay anonymous and speak freely.
3. Comic Book Library
Are you a comic lover? On the Comic Book Library you can download thousands of comic books, ranging from very mainstream titles to very niche comics. Just be careful of any possible copyright infringement when you access comics through the Comic Book Library.
4. Deep Web Radio
Looking for some accompanying music while you are exploring the dark web links in this article? You’re in luck, because the dark web has its own digital radio station. With Deep Web Radio you can choose between all kinds of music streams to listen to via Tor. When we checked, we could choose between eleven different channels, all with different music genres being played.
5. Hidden Answers
Hidden Answers is like the Reddit or Quora of the dark web and one of the most popular dark web sites to visit. It’s a place where users ask for advice, share stories, and talk about a wide variety of topics. Unlike Quora or Reddit, Hidden Answers offers you total anonymity.
6. The Dark Lair
The Dark Lair was initially an image hosting platform and evolved into a social network over time. You can share images, post comments, and engage with other users as both a registered as well as anonymous user.
7. Galaxy3
Don’t trust Facebook’s dark web site? In this case, you should give Galaxy3 a try. Of course, you won’t find most of your real-life friends on there. However, you’ll find computer code experts, people searching for adult dates, and other interesting individuals.
The Importance of a Dark Web Browser
You can’t access the dark web without the use of an anonymous browser known as Tor. It routes all your communications via a series of relays operated by individuals across the world. This makes your IP address untraceable and unidentifiable in the process. While the Tor browser works like magic, the overall experience can be a slow and unreliable one.
Final Thoughts
The dark web sounds mysterious and maybe even scary, but some of the .onion websites are actually very mundane. For regular internet users there isn’t really a good reason to visit them, as there is already plenty of information to be found on the surface web. But if you do want to have a look, you might want to visit one of the many websites listed above. They are relatively safe and harmless platforms, although there’s always a risk of encountering something dangerous or unwanted when you’re on the dark web.
Remember that there is a lot of seedy business going down on the dark web, so be careful and don’t click on any links you don’t trust. Use your common sense and have fun exploring these and other dark web links!
