This article is dedicated to showing this different side of the dark web. Usually, the more positive and sometimes surprisingly wholesome things you can find on the dark web aren’t mentioned. There is an element of truth to this, but quite often, these stories are overhyped, untrue, and exaggerated.

There are countless stories of “dark markets” where you can buy illegal products such as drugs, weapons, or fake passports. When the dark web is in the news, it’s often in association with illegal practices. The Tor browser, however, enables you to visit these services while also giving you a layer of anonymity. Dark web links like Onion links (websites with the suffix ‘.onion’) host hidden services that aren’t accessible through regular browsers (unless you do a lot of tweaking). The dark web is a mysterious part of the web that most people only get to with the Tor browser.
