Everything you can search on Google is here. – YouTube, Wikipedia, News Sites. – This is the "Tip of the Iceberg." It is public, indexed, and visible to everyone.
This is NOT the Dark Web. The Deep Web is simply content that is not indexed by Google because it is private. – Examples: Your Gmail inbox, online banking dashboard, medical records, and corporate databases. – Key: It requires a Password to access. It is safe and boring.
This is the bottom of the ocean. You cannot access it with Chrome or Safari. You need a specific browser like Tor. – The Address: Sites end in .onion instead of .com. – The Goal: Total Anonymity. No tracking, no IP addresses.
The Dark Web is famous for illegal markets, but it is also a sanctuary for: – Whistleblowers: Journalists protecting sources. – Privacy Advocates: People evading censorship in restrictive countries.
Browsing the Dark Web is legal in most countries. However, buying illegal items or accessing illicit content is a crime. – Tip: If you explore, use a VPN. Curiosity killed the cat.
