While technically not an onion site, we’re including Sci-Hub (sci-hub.se) as an interesting example of a site you can access via Tor&lt;/del&gt;.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Use it to search the &lt;/del&gt;normal &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;internet from &lt;/del&gt;the &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;privacy of your Tor Browser. The internet’s favorite alternative to Google made a name for itself by not logging your search activity yet still providing decent results. That’s why we recommend connecting to VPN before accessing Tor—VPN encryption protects your data&lt;/del&gt;, &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;and changing your IP adds an extra layer of privacy &lt;/del&gt;to protect &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;you&lt;/del&gt;. &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;This is also why the sites on the dark web are called &lt;/del&gt;Tor &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;links.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;How the Onion &lt;/del&gt;is &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Peeled&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;All &lt;/del&gt;of &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;this underscores Riseup’s prioritization of users’ rights over business interests. Since &lt;/del&gt;the &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;organization behind it is independent, it’s fully user-supported and relies &lt;/del&gt;on &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;donations to keep its site up and running. Riseup’s secure email and chat help individuals communicate without fear of surveillance or data interception. Riseup provides email and chat services that keep no record of your online activity. Accessing ProPublica via &lt;/del&gt;the Tor &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Browser gives users an added layer of privacy and lets them bypass restrictive government censorship.
