Onion Sites That Don't Suck

An index of the non-dark web...

The Theme

This list is for substantial, commercial-or-social-good mainstream websites with onion presence.

  • no nudity, exploitation, drugs, copyright infringement or sketchy-content sites
  • no sites for tech with less than (arbitrary) 10,000 users
  • no onion-only sites

The editor may choose to annotate or drop any entries as deemed fit.

Submission Notes

  • NO MORE THAN 1 SITE PER REQUEST WILL BE ACCEPTED
    • it's easy enough to make multiple requests, and it helps.
  • Check that the site is up and the link works
    • if the onion site is down, the site will not be added / may be removed from the list; no exceptions.
  • HTTP and/or HTTPS only
    • check for SSL availability, upgrade to that if available and add a 🔒 emoji.
  • Maintain alphabetical sorting, elide "The", stick to the existing categories
    • contact the editor for anything more complex than a simple update.

Pull Requests

Pull requests for the main list will be accepted only for entries of the form:

## Sitename
* <url of onion> [<lock emoji if https>] [<site notes, four words max>]

[(site note in parentheses)]

Pull requests for the SecureDrop or GlobalLeaks lists will be accepted only for entries of the form:

## Descriptive Publication *or* Journalist Name
* <url of onion> <lock emoji if https>
* <first-party "proof" url citing the above url>
