Thanks for the explanation Rick. I've seen Tor, but the .onion sites was a new one on me. It's interesting that people could create their own domain extension, albeit one that will only work on a Tor browser.

Well, I believe it's called the onion browser for that reason. :P In some way, it's like a network relay service. TOR can pretty much act like a distinct internet that is separate from the regular web. Maybe, that's why they call it the "deep internet". xD

Rick Ace you do have a point :lol: . This means the internet normal people are using is called "tip or the iceberg" xD. However, I think the Onion browser should implement something like verification instead. They should test if the proxy server and client have any third-party tracking software eavesdropping the so called " safety " connection. :)

Verification? Anonymity is the ultimate goal for TOR. There is absolutely no room for "verification" in their project.

And people do use proxies and vpn for added layers of protection. Although, nothing is going to be perfect.

As for third-party tracking software, if you mean malware and trojans, then it's up to the users' expertise and software to detect and destroy it.

Really it isnt about what browser you use, it just really matters how secure your PC is overall.

Hi Cloudlin,

Thanks for the response, let me know first what is buying from the "Darknet", so that we the members of this site may know about Darknet.

I downloaded Tor a while back to had a little explore but most of the sites were boring, really... It's a good alternative to a proxy just for getting around region-locks though.

You can mostly buy drugs, I believe. Which I'm not advocating, and I don't do.

I agree, for layers of security it actually exchanges your speed, but intercepting it could be easy as it allows any connection from any people.

Actually I think it is, but just routing through so much place introduces delay and noise, so packet loss and slow load is actually the cause. Its a good browser to me though :P
