Is this what people think about Tor browser? - eviltoast

image transcription:
a YouTube screenshot of a community post, which is a meme regarding incognito mode. it has two panels with an animated figure(person) and chrome logo (chrome) with limbs. in first panel, chrome is asking “which website would you line to see?”, to which the person replies " I don’t want you to know. " in second panel, chrome has become a ventriloquist, holding a masked muppet with sunglasses and a fedora(symbol for incognito on chrome). it is asking the person “what about telling Mr. incognito?”, to which the person joyfully replies “okay.”

the screenshot has a main comment with several replies. the main comment(by Paula_Amato) reads, “And then there’s Tor browser e CD Catching my brother Scrolling through Tor was the second worst secret I know about him… The first is the website he was using.”

[Griffin McKenzie • 1 day ago (edited)] Tor is literally just a browser like any other but better.

    I remember when I first used Tor. I was like 14.

    Found the silk road when it was still up. Poked around for a bit. Cool.

    Next onion site I found was also cp. That image is burned into my skull forever. Uninstalled Tor and never went back. Hard pass.

      Thankfully the front page was not super graphic for me. Still cp, but it was a portal for logging into your account.

      Scary part was the photos that were shown, the girls looked very abused. Obviously cp is abuse, but I mean they looked VERY abused and used. Clearly some trafficking shit.

      I also immediately uninstalled Tor. I understand it has other uses, but I don’t really need Tor anyway. I was just goofing around and found out.
