you used to need to use a different web browser like tor (short for the onion router) and essentially many of the web browsers iirc ended in .tor instead of .com, the idea was that it scrambles everyones ip and people can't trace what content you were viewing, and everything was anonymous. Shit was hard to navigate so I didn't really care enough to dig deep into it
but the golden age of that shit was like 2011 - 2013 back when silk road was still running, essentially it was amazon for all kinds of explicit goods drugs, guns, etc. it got shut down eventually and as far as I understand, the feds have ways of tracing people through tor now, so it's not as efficient as it used to be
