How to access TOR?
For serious security you must install the official Tor browser.

But if you are not too concerned about tracking and anonymity, you can download the Brave browser, this privacy browser is able to access .onion sites and Tor.
You can also access .onion sites without running Tor through proxies, like Tor2web, that connect to Tor for you.
Proxies like this connects to TOR for you and then forwards you the traffic over the regular Internet.
This, however, is a very bad idea.
You’re losing the anonymity you
normally have when you connect to a .onion site through the TOR browser.
That’s the whole point of a .onion address, after all.
The website you
access maintains its anonymity, but someone monitoring your connection
can see which website you’re connecting to.
The service provider can
also see what you’re connecting to and snoop on any passwords and other
private information you provide over the connection.
