Disclaimer
Tor Browser, this browser is the best known to enter the deep web. This gateway to Tor hidden services provides convenient access to Tor hidden services. It is a pure proxy that forwards requests to the respective hidden service. You will need a tor browser to explore onion sites. If you want to increase your level of security, use Tor browser with a VPN. If you want to maintain your online anonymity, Tor can be a perfect option. You can download its firefox based browser that is easy to download and install. It is safe to download and install to for onion links. The Tor Browser is the original browser that was used to access the Dark Web and exploring deep dark onion websites list, and even to this day, it is still the most secure to use when accessing the deep onion networks and most secure the onion router download.
Using Onion Browser does not guarantee security or privacy on its own. It simply provides a set of features that may enhance privacy and anonymity while browsing the web. Please remember the following...
Apple requires all web browser apps to use the same core web rendering ending, called UIWebKit or WKWebView. Due to this limitation, we are unable to compile and include our own web engine, based on Firefox Gecko, that other browsers, like Tor Browser on Desktop and Android, are allowed to do.
Onion Browser only tunnels traffic within the Onion Browser app. Please note that network traffic outside of Onion Browser is not protected and will continue to use your normal connection.
If you use Onion Browser to log into websites that you normally access outside of the Tor network, the website may be able to identify you and know that you are using Tor. In certain circumstances (e.g. political dissent in repressive nations), this may be incriminating information in itself.
Limitations in iOS
iOS has full control over some network traffic, which may result in this traffic (including audio or video embeds) routing via your normal connection and not over Tor.
Geolocation and Advanced HTML5 Features
Websites may use the HTML5 Geolocation API (to view your current GPS location) and other new HTML5 features unless 'Strict' security mode is set. Users should also remain vigilant for any pop-ups asking for permission to access location data.
More Information
The Tor Project maintains a small page of tips about staying anonymous while using Tor.
A log of Onion Browser release notes, including previous security issues and results of previous security audits is available here. You can also see the GitHub project for a current list of known issues.
What's Tor2web
Tor is a software project that lets you anonymously browse the Internet. Tor2web is a project to let Internet users access Tor Onion Services without using Tor Browser.
Getting started
Whenever you see a URL like http://duskgytldkxiuqc6.onion/, that's a Tor Onion service. Just replace .onion with .onion.to or .onion.city or .onion.cab or .onion.direct or any other domain made available by volounteers Tor2web operators Example:
This connects you with Tor2web, which then talks to the onion service via Tor and relays the response back to you.
WARNING: Tor2web only protects publishers, not readers. As a reader installing Tor Browser will give you much greater anonymity, confidentiality, and authentication than using Tor2web. Using Tor2web trades off security for convenience and usability.
