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.

Formatting / how to submit entries ("pull-requests") are explained in the footer of this page.

Emoji Key

  • SSL Onions: 🔒
  • Reported Reachability Issues: 📉

Sites which display multiple reachability problems will eventually be struck-off the list.

Submission Notes

  • NO MORE THAN 1 SITE PER REQUEST WILL BE ACCEPTED
    • it's easy enough to make multiple requests, and it helps.
    • if you have a huge batch, contact the editor.
  • 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.
  • Structure
    • SecureDrop in the SecureDrop section NO EXCEPTIONS
    • GlobaLeaks in the GlobaLeaks section NO EXCEPTIONS
    • only SD and GL sites take a "proof" URL
    • maintain alphabetical sorting for entries
    • elide leading "The" from sitenames
    • stick to the existing categories
    • onion site comes first in listings
  • Contact the editor for anything more complex than a simple update.

Main Lists

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)]

If there are many onions, submit a few, key, ones, plus an "index" page for the others. The "index" page must be an onion site, and must be followed with a sub-bullet for its cleartext equivalent; see existing examples for precedent.

If the Sitename is an acronym, append / <acronym spelled out>

If the site is locally scoped or an umbrella for several organisations, consider appending (.cc; <notes>) where cc is the ISO 2-letter country code.

Drops & Leaks

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

## Publication, Site *or* Journalist Name [ / 1..4 word description ]
* <url of onion> <lock emoji if https>
* <first-party "proof" url citing the above url>
