    I heard that was pretty much a safe haven until the NSA/FBI cracked it in 2014 to take down CP sites and the Silk Road.

    I know it's unsafe with Javascript and using Windows so many use the Tails OS instead. But is it all unsafe now?

    Yes, very much so. You will start getting drugs delivered to your door about 3 days after opening it. :rolleyes:

    I suggest you do a bit more reading. You are confusing TOR with the Dark Web.


    You need TOR to access the Dark Web, but you don't need to access the Dark Web when using TOR.

    Incidentally, your comment regarding javascript can be true for the regular Internet too.

    Yes. Apart from above, you have various law enforcement agencies controlling another chunk of Tor exit nodes.
