The dark web is a hidden part of the internet that isn’t indexed by search engines and requires special tools like the Tor Browser to access.

You need the Tor Browser to open .onion websites. It routes traffic through multiple layers to help protect user anonymity.

No. Most marketplaces carry high risks of scams, fraud, and malware. Even browsing them can expose you to threats.

Simply accessing the dark web is legal in most countries, but engaging in illegal activities such as buying or selling prohibited goods is against the law.

Use tools like Tor, avoid sharing personal information, disable tracking features, and follow strong cybersecurity practices.

Tor Browser helps users browse the internet anonymously by encrypting and routing traffic through multiple servers.

Some onion sites are safe, but many are risky. Always verify sources and avoid unknown or suspicious links.

Malware, scams, identity theft, phishing attacks, and exposure to illegal content are the main risks.
