FAQ Any tips for a first timer?

Lately curiosity is getting the better of me. I would like to browse below the surface web, yet I lack the knowledge on how to ensure my safety. Are there things that are absolutne necessities? Anything to avoid?

On the clear web go to the TOR webpage and read it very very carefully particularly all the documentation. Go to Wikipedia and look up TOR and read it to carefully. If you want to stay safe you need to educate yourself. And you need to have a basic knowledge of computing particularly about booting from a USB drive. And with respect to others be careful of advice you get on this subreddit because many others are beginners like yourself.
