This may not be the whole solution but it is a step in the right direction. Kudos to NYT for attention to this subset of readers.

This is a great thing. Tor wants to encourage people to use tor as a normal browser so it&#x27;s harder to track individuals using tor.<p>Handy graph for anyone curious about the benefits of Tor [0]<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.eff.org&#x2F;pages&#x2F;tor-and-https" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.eff.org&#x2F;pages&#x2F;tor-and-https</a>

Does the onion service still serve the same advertisements their website and mobile app do?<p>If so, they&#x27;re leaving their users-who-want-to-stay-relatively-anonymous open to attack via the advertisement vector. Members of that group would be considered high-value targets simply due to their anonymity desires.<p>I can&#x27;t see the number of daily users being large enough that they&#x27;d lose significant profit by closing that attack vector. Hell, if there was a way to pay NYT enough to disable ads on all their services, I&#x27;d do it.

Mozilla is also currently matching all Tor donations: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;donate.torproject.org&#x2F;pdr" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;donate.torproject.org&#x2F;pdr</a><p>Consider donating!

Will this help people in China at all? From an article I ready a while back it seemed like Tor has been defeated there. (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.technologyreview.com&#x2F;s&#x2F;427413&#x2F;how-china-blocks-the-tor-anonymity-network&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.technologyreview.com&#x2F;s&#x2F;427413&#x2F;how-china-blocks-t...</a>)

What&#x27;s the point of making it available in the Tor network if their onion site includes a script from www.googletagmanager.com (or an &quot;iframe&quot; if scripting is disabled) thus making it significantly less anonymous?<p>Onion websites should be isolated and should not initiate any connections to vanilla internet.<p>Edit: it also loads scripts from www.google.com, tags.bluekai.com, cdn.optimizely.com...

Hmm don&#x27;t you have to pay to access the full newspaper? How does that mix with Tor anonymity?

I don&#x27;t see the point.<p>A hidden service is set for information can not be safely presented on the public Internet. Like what The Daily Stormer did.<p>If one just wanted to bypass blocking or hide himself from evil third parties, he could just use tor browser to open NYT&#x27;s regular domain instead of the hidden service domain, no?

The url is a bit hard to remember. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nytimes3xbfgragh.onion&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nytimes3xbfgragh.onion&#x2F;</a> Is there a directory of .onion sites? (with an easy .onion url)

Does anyone know why they posted this story through Medium?

Is there a search engine or other convenient discovery mechanism for Onion services?<p>I know DuckDuckGo has their own hidden service, but it seems that site only returns results from the regular internet, not from other hidden services.

Tried to show my support by subscribing over Tor, unf:<p><pre><code> This action is not supported over Onion yet, sorry. </code></pre> Which kind of makes sense, since you were probably about to ask my CC info, but still...
Illniyarover 7 years ago
Err... does the tor site still have the 10 views a month for free limit? Are tor users supposed to subscribe to NYT - that will surely blow through any privacy you hope to achieve.

I&#x27;m seeing a different page at the Tor address than at the regular address. The layout is different:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nytimes3xbfgragh.onion&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nytimes3xbfgragh.onion&#x2F;</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nytimes.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nytimes.com&#x2F;</a>

For a publication that openly supported the Iraq war and all the suffering that entailed for innocent civilians, its kinda funny that they&#x27;re suddenly all concerned about people&#x27;s rights.

The NYT is so pro-establishment it is probably the last site on Earth that would have its domain taken away from them.

is it still paywalled on the onion service?

Ah, so disagreement with an administration is what will make everyone eventually to TOR<p>Nothing to hide except when the wrong guy gets in power then you feel naked

Comical attempt to give Street cred to the NYT.

So is it now &quot;guaranteed&quot;, that TOR is secure? And how many &quot;guarantees&quot; does one need in order to be &quot;guaranteed&quot; security whilst browsing?<p>[...]and they provide additional guarantees that readers are connected securely to our website.[...]
