    Yeah, if this was possible, why are the authorities not doing it to catch buyers?

      They have done it before - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/oct/04/tor-attacks-nsa-users-online-anonymity https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/oct/04/tor-attacks-ns...

    Modern marketplaces don't even use js (and some don't work if you have js enabled) and I expect a higher chance of malware on random clearnet sites..

    straight up FUD. last time i was on a darknet market it wouldn't load the main page unless you disabled javascript. i know the Tor browser has to serve many masters but its always shocking that it doesn't disable javascript by default but give the user an easy way to add sites to the allow list. or at least just disable javascript on .onion sites

      Tor Browser comes with noscript installed to quickly do that if you need.

        It should be a quick way to re-enable js, not the other way around. Learn to drive before considering driving without a seatbelt.

        but not displayed. so you right click the bar, click customize, find noscript, drag it to the bar, then go to customize, then go to default, a bunch of confusing options ("why is there a script and a noscript option? if i say no to noscript does that mean script? what is this crap!") which are defaulted to running javascript on the darkweb. that's just silly IMHO
