I built a free meta-search for Tor: one query hits 45 onion search engines and filters out scams and phishing clones

https://onionscope.com/

What it does

Sends your query to 45 onion search engines in parallel (23 more experimental ones are opt-in), each over its own Tor circuit, so no engine operator can link your queries together

Merges the same page found by different engines into one result and shows how many engines agree on it

Drops sponsored ads, dead v2 addresses, scam spam and clearnet junk. Typo-squatted addresses are caught by checking the v3 onion checksum

Clusters near-identical pages on different onion hosts as "mirrors / possible clones". Phishing copies tend to show up here. It does not tell you which copy is genuine, so verify through PGP-signed mirror lists or similar

Shows the score breakdown for every result, plus a "pruned" view with the reason each result was removed

Only fetches search-engine result pages, never the result sites. The child-abuse filter is always on and can't be disabled

ChatGPT is the #6 site people click to from Google — ahead of Instagram, WhatsApp, and X

  1. ChatGPT pulls 1.7M clicks/week from Google — more than Instagram, WhatsApp, or X. People don't navigate to it directly; they Google it.
  2. That makes Google the largest acquisition channel for the product built to replace search.
  3. Reddit itself is #3 overall at 3.4M — Google sends more traffic here than to Facebook (2.2M) or Wikipedia (1.9M).
