Tor these days is useless. Just shit you can get elsewhere except you’re going trough the FBI’s exit node. The kinds of interesting stuff you could only get from the dark web has all moved onto the federation, and, well, you’re here, aren’t you?
EDIT: Also a few compromised entry nodes have been distributing malware so make sure you have an actual AV not a scam one like Norton.
Exit nodes are a fundamental part of how TOR works. You still use an exit node on onion sites, you just go through more nodes up to that point. whoops I got exit nodes and entry nodes mixed up.

Random memory, but the early Norton suite on the Mac was like this amazing Swiss Army knife; it has fallen from great heights to the pit of hell.
You don’t go through exit nodes if you stay on onion sites
