image transcription:
a YouTube screenshot of a community post, which is a meme regarding incognito mode. it has two panels with an animated figure(person) and chrome logo (chrome) with limbs. in first panel, chrome is asking “which website would you line to see?”, to which the person replies " I don’t want you to know. " in second panel, chrome has become a ventriloquist, holding a masked muppet with sunglasses and a fedora(symbol for incognito on chrome). it is asking the person “what about telling Mr. incognito?”, to which the person joyfully replies “okay.”
the screenshot has a main comment with several replies. the main comment(by Paula_Amato) reads, “And then there’s Tor browser e CD Catching my brother Scrolling through Tor was the second worst secret I know about him… The first is the website he was using.”

[Griffin McKenzie • 1 day ago (edited)] Tor is literally just a browser like any other but better.

The stereotype of pedophiles using the dark web is absolutely true. I hosted an exit node and not even a day later got a call from my ISP. I told them I was hosting an exit node and they instantly understood the situation, went to close the node and have never hosted another one since.

Knusper ( @Knusper@feddit.de ) 22•7 months agoI don’t think ‘people’ think about Tor. Most would not know what that is…
Amends1782 ( @Amends1782@lemmy.ca ) 16•7 months agoTOR is just a browser, using Firefox as the base, and heavily modified and the special ability to access, but not required, what’s colloquially known as the dark web. What you choose to visit and do is on your, not TOR, or Firefox, or anyone else involved.
KrummsHairyBalls ( @KrummsHairyBalls@lemmy.ca ) 13•7 months agoBiggest issue with Tor is the 1Mbps speeds it gives me on my 1.5Gbps connection.
Also, I decided to go to an onion link for the first time last month, typed in “best onion websites” on Google, clicked the first Reddit link, found the top comment and typed in it first address.
Child porn.
I know onion addresses can be anything, but God damn. Comment is still up on Reddit, also. I believe it was posted a couple years ago.
So I definitely can understand where that idea of Tor comes from lol
ColdWater ( @ColdWater@lemmy.ca ) 8•7 months agoI don’t use tor but I would use it for piracy if I lived in a strict country
Gestrid ( @Gestrid@lemmy.ca ) English7•7 months agoHonestly, I’d probably use Tor more if I knew which sites on the dark web were “safe”.
Basically, I know how to use Tor, but I have no idea where to begin with it.
pinkdrunkenelephants ( @pinkdrunkenelephants@lemmy.cafe ) English1•7 months agoIsn’t there a directory for safe onion links anywhere?
