Your Average Experience Of Browsing The Deep Web

After renewing your Time broadband package Malaysia Jom Apply, you have the internet back and feel relieved that you get to keep it at home. Maybe you are now curious about the deep web enough to try exploring it, whether you believe its myths or not.

If you are thinking that surfing the deep web will be an exciting roller coaster, there is news for you. It isn’t more exciting than surfing the surface web that you are on. That is it.

Not convinced? Well, here are detailed expectations that you will face when browsing the deep web. Lower your excitement, otherwise you will be left disappointed like a kid not getting the scare he wants because that haunted house turned out to be as scary as Scooby Doo villains.

Slow ride

Slowness will be the speed that your internet will normally drive when you are in the deep web. You may even feel like it is worse than a broadband or dial-up connection because of how long it takes to load a single onion page.

Worse, if the page does load, you might end up with a dead one, leaving you digitally blue balled. This is where your frustration mounts until you can no longer tolerate it and exit the deep web with a scowl on your face.

Now, the truth is that the deep web isn’t always this slow. Onion links that you find in sites like The Hidden Wiki will load as fast as a surface website as long as it is still active. This is okay if you stick to the trusted lists of onion links, otherwise you may feel bumpy if you rely on onion search engines.

Your Internet connection also comes into play. If it is slow by default, your deep web experience will be slower.

Dead links

If not your Internet connection, then it is likely that the sites are dead and you are unaware because whatever listed that link didn’t make a remark about its status. Dead links are plentiful and unless clearly pointed out, clicking onion links is akin to dipping your hand in a hay with a hidden, tiny toy. Or needle.

The latest Onion V3 functionality in Tor not only increases characters of onion links, but it also improves privacy of the sites. The existence of Onion V3 itself is where the problem comes in, and why you encounter dozens of dead links.

Many onions use the previous Onion V2 functionality, which would be the current version if you browse the deep web before 2021. In other words, it used to be the main function until V3 replaced its status. It is unknown how many of them were actually updated.

The surface Internet is a minefield too

Even with the deep web, you probably already know that in the surface web, you can find plenty of messed up or creepy stuff in there, so if you are surprised that the deep web has such, assuming they aren’t myths like red rooms or hitman websites, you probably didn’t lurk more.

The Internet used to be pretty much untamed, especially in the 2000s and probably the first half of the 2010s. You can find death, violence and sex a lot no matter how extreme. Even in social media sites like FaceBook and YouTube, you can also find a lot of these. Now you don’t, unless you dig too deep enough to find one if you are lucky.

At best, that material would only be up for no more than a few days, weeks or a month before it gets deleted off the face of the internet. Somebody might archive it, but time will tell when they will make it available somewhere else again.
