Best search engines for Tor's dark web

Finding hidden services for Tor can be tricky without the help of a search engine. Fortunately, there are quite a few. Links to these search engines work only for browsers that allow access to hidden services, such as the Tor Browser and Brave.

Why do some URLs end with a slash?

You have probably come across URLs that end with a slash (such as https://freakspot.net/en/ or /, the server's root directory) and others that don't (such as this one: https://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu.html). What's the difference? Is it important?

A URL is basically an address to a resource. URLs do not only refer to web pages, but also to other types of resources. Examples of URL schemes are http, https, ftp, telnet, data and mailto. In this article I am referring to web pages that use either the http or the https scheme.

URLs that end with a slash refer to a directory; URLs that do not end with a slash refer to a file. When you click on the link https://freakspot.net/en, the server realises that the requested address is not a file and goes to https://freakspot.net/en/. There it finds a main file called index.html or index with another extension and displays its contents.

Consequently, the page loads faster when we use links to main pages ending with slashes (e.g. /) or when we link to the filename (e.g. https://www.example.com/index.html).
