How to search the dark web

Google has redesigned the Search app for both iOS and Android. In a blog post, the tech giant has explained why it made changes. It was Google designer Aileen Chang who spearheaded the design overhaul. “We wanted to take a step back to simplify a bit so people could find what they’re looking for faster and more easily,” she says.
