Top Famous Dark Web Sites That Don’t Show

Up On Google
Note: You’ll need to install the Tor browser to open these links to .onion
websites and gain access to the dark web:

1. Mail2Tor

Link: http://mail2tor2zyjdctd.onion/

Let’s face it – email isn’t a secure means of communication! The contents of


your inbox are accessible to email providers. Take, for instance, Gmail scans
your emails to show you more relevant search results and advertisements.

Mail2Tor makes a good alternative as it allows users to send/receive


messages anonymously through webmail or an email client. What’s more, all
mail is secured using encryption, and the provider doesn’t store your IP
address either.
2. Facebook

Link: https://www.facebookcorewwwi.onion/

Though Facebook knows a lot about you than you can imagine, it isn’t keen
on sharing this data with others. The social media giant has also been the
target of censorship from repressive governments time and time again. After
all, it enables users from around the world to connect, communicate, and
collaborate with each other freely.

So, it’s no surprise that Facebook has a .onion URL. It doesn’t do much in
terms of maintaining an anonymous account, but lets you access the social
media network from restricted countries.
3. The Hidden Wiki

Link:

ndex.php/Main_Page

If you’re looking to find active .onion websites and their URLs, you have a few
ways to go about it. One of the most convenient is to use a dark web link
directory, such as The Hidden Wiki. Some sites are completely legit (like
domain services), and some (like whistleblowing tools) might be censored in
your country.

Then, you also have others that might not be as legal. That’s why you should
be cautious about which .onion links you click on!
4. DuckDuckGo

Link: http://3g2upl4pq6kufc4m.onion/

Do you want to search for something privately? Then, DuckDuckGo is one of


the best alternatives to Google. Your search activity isn’t stored, and you get
decent answers for most queries without all the tracking. The search engine is
also available on the dark web and offers an additional layer of anonymity and
privacy with fast search results.
5. ProPublica

Link: https://www.propub3r6espa33w.onion/

The aim of the five-time Pulitzer Prize winner ProPublica is “To expose abuses
of power and betrayals of the public trust by government, business, and other
institutions, using the moral force of investigative journalism to spur reform
through the sustained spotlighting of wrongdoing.”

It’s the first major online publication to have a .onion address. The non-profit
newsroom is funded by organizations such as the Sandler Foundation and
has made countless contributions in the fight for free speech and privacy.
6. SoylentNews

Link: http://7rmath4ro2of2a42.onion/

Unfortunately, most of the mainstream media today can’t be trusted because


it’s rarely unbiased and accurate. The best way to stay up-to-date with the
latest happenings is to use an open-source and community-oriented news
aggregator like SoylentNews. Users can submit their stories from anywhere in
the globe and even engage in insightful conversations on public discussion
forums.
7. TorLinks

Link: http://torlinksd6pdnihy.onion/

TorLinks is a great alternative to The Hidden Wiki and provides a list of .onion
websites across various categories. Sure, there’s some overlap between the
two, but the list of sites on TorLinks is widely different. Considering how
regularly dark web sites vanish and go offline, it’s better to have more than
one source to help you find .onion URLs.
8. The CIA

Link:
http://ciadotgov4sjwlzihbbgxnqg3xiyrg7so2r2o3lt5wz5ypk4sxyjstad.onion/

Tor’s history is an unlikely tale. It was created by the U.S Navy with the
purpose of helping informants in foreign nations to communicate safely over
the Internet. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), in that spirit, released a
.onion site so that people from across the globe can browse their resources
securely and anonymously.

It offers all the same services, contacts, and information that you’ll come
across on the CIA’s normal site. The .onion site is aimed at individuals that
want to share information anonymously with the spy agency but are at the risk
of being tracked.
9. SecureDrop

Link: https://secrdrop5wyphb5x.onion/

SecureDrop is software platform that NGOs and media organizations can


install to accept leaked information from whistleblowers safely. It also comes
with a functionality that allows journalists to communicate with their source(s)
in a private manner. Many news sites use SecureDrop, such as The
Washington Post, ProPublica, and The Guardian.
10. Hidden Answers

Link:

/

Hidden Answers is like the Reddit or Quora of the dark web and one of the
most popular dark web sites to visit. It’s a place where users ask for advice,
share stories, and talk about a wide variety of topics. Unlike Quora or Reddit,
Hidden Answers offers you total anonymity.
11. The Dark Lair

Link: http://vrimutd6so6a565x.onion/index.php/Board

The Dark Lair was initially an image hosting platform and evolved into a social
network over time. You can share images, post comments, and engage with
other users as both a registered as well as anonymous user.

12. Galaxy3
Link: http://galaxy3m2mn5iqtn.onion/

Don’t trust Facebook’s dark web site? In this case, you should give Galaxy3 a
try. Of course, you won’t find most of your real-life friends on there. However,
you’ll find computer code experts, people searching for adult dates, and other
interesting individuals.

13. Sci-Hub

Link: http://scihub22266oqcxt.onion/

Founded by Alexandra Elbakyan, Sci-Hub eliminates all barriers that get in the
way of acquiring scientific knowledge. It does this by hosting more than 50
million research papers and making them available to individuals and scientific
institutions for no cost whatsoever.

14. Smartmixer.io
Link: http://smrtmxdxognxhv64.onion/

Smartmixer is a bitcoin mixer. When you purchase things online using


cryptocurrency, third-parties can still link your transactions to your identity. The
service scrambles your Bitcoin with that of other crypto users, affording you
complete anonymity.

15. Torch Search Engine


Link: http://xmh57jrzrnw6insl.onion/

Torch is the oldest and most well-known search engine for the dark web. Its
index has more than 1 million .onion links, which also makes it the largest.
Therefore, it makes for a useful multi-purpose search engine – no matter what
you’re looking for.
