The dark web is a collection of hidden servers that are connected to the internet but use a different addressing system to communicate, one that lets their identity remain private. Anything online, but not directly accessible without credentials is considered the deep web. The deep web includes the content of some social media accounts, email accounts, private databases, etc. The deep web is the portion of the internet that can’t be directly accessed and is invisible to search engines like Google. The term dark web is often incorrectly used interchangeably with the term “deep web”.

I'll check the desktop Tor Browser when I get home and will edit and change my comment if I'm incorrect!Ģnd edit: you CAN add the search engines exactly as you posted on Android Tor still.Before you access the dark web though you need to know what it is and isn’t. It's not recommended to add browser add-ons to Tor Browser, so adding a bookmark is likely the safest and easiest way to be able to use Torch for searching.Įdit: I just noticed that the Android version does let you add search engines in the old method still, I may be incorrect in my memory of this. The way you want to try no longer is valid on FireFox and its forks like Tor Browser as search engines for the browser are now treated as browser add-ons. When Mozilla started to rebuild FireFox with features from their Servo experiment and rebuilt FireFox to FireFox Quantum, this changed how search engines built into the browser work. The reason it's hard is that Tor Browser is built off of FireFox. I suggest just bookmarking the page instead. onion I understand you want to try to add it as a default search, but this is actually harder than IMHO it should be. The link is valid if you remove everything after the.
