In the case of the Tor anonymity network, our data provide clear, if probabilistic, answers to these questions. Others emphasize its socially beneficial potential as a privacy-enhancing tool and censorship circumvention technology ( 17– 22). With these diverse supply-side and demand-side functions ( 6), many point to the socially harmful uses of Tor as an anonymous platform for child abuse imagery sites ( 7, 8), illicit drug markets ( 9– 13), gun sales ( 14, 15), and potential extremist content that has shifted to the Dark Web after extensive Clear Web content moderation efforts ( 16). They can also use the Tor browser to anonymously read either these Onion/Hidden Services (i.e., sites with rendezvous points located internal to the Tor network) or to access Clear Web sites ( 1– 5). Tor users can act as publishers of content by using the network to anonymously administer Onion/Hidden Services for the use of others. * Although other similar tools exist, The Onion Router (Tor) is currently the largest anonymity network. If you have any questions, feel free to comment.Debate rages about the social utility of an anonymous portion of the global Internet accessible via the Tor network and colloquially known as the Dark Web ( 1). When using GPRS, it took a whopping 16 seconds to load! Overall, this is a great tool that is built right into Chrome that you can use for testing your website load time on slower connections. Click on the Add Custom Profile button to add a new profile. If you want to use your own specific values, you can click the Add button under Custom. The throttling only works for the tab you have it enabled for. Just make sure you are in the same tab where the developer tools are being displayed. Pick one of the options and then reload the page you are on or type in another URL in the address bar. The slowest is GPRS followed by Regular 2G, then Good 2G, then Regular 3G, Good 3G, Regular 4G, DSL and then WiFi. The choices range from Offline to WiFi and the numbers are shown as Latency, Download, Upload. If you click on that, you’ll get a dropdown list of a pre-configured speeds that you can use to simulate a slow connection. On the right, you should see a label called No Throttling. Now go ahead and click on the Network tab. To do this, click on the three vertical dots and then click on the middle dock position. I prefer it docked at the bottom of the screen, since you can see more data. This will bring up the Developer Tools window, which will probably be docked on the right side of the screen. Once you do, open a new tab and then press CTRL + SHIFT + I to open the developer tools window or click on the hamburger icon, then More tools and then Developer tools.

Go ahead and install Chrome if you don’t already have it installed on your system.
