🎓 Beginner's Guide
Before you start sailing the high seas, here are some recommendations.Browsers
While you can use any browser you prefer, for better privacy and security, I recommend Firefox or Brave—especially if you want a Chrome-like experience.Extensions
Piracy sites often contain ads, some of which can be harmful, leading to unwanted pages, fake download buttons, or malware. For a safer experience, consider using uBlock Origin to block ads, FastForward to bypass link shorteners, and a web page translator like Google Translate, as some sites may be in other languages.Torrenting
A torrent client is essential for downloading files via torrents—a method distinct from direct downloads. I recommend using qBittorent on desktop and LibreTorrent on Android.VPNs
Using a VPN when torrenting is highly recommended. If you’re downloading pirated content, you’re likely not looking to pay for a VPN, but keep in mind that torrenting without one can cause issues with your ISP. In most countries, using a VPN is a must. You can visit r/VPN's comparison table to find the best VPN for your needs. Avoid free or cracked VPNs for torrenting!Antivirus
While I’ve personally used all the links in this list, it’s good practice to scan every file you download with tools like VirusTotal to prevent system comprises. And yes, Windows Defender (along with common sense) is sufficient for most users, as installing other antiviruses might slow down your system.
