Hi there,
I am new to silk road and have a question regarding my security and anonymity on SR. So I downloaded the new browser bundle and all worked well except for that after the installation I noticed that when I went to the silk road site I saw a grey globe in the address bar and then the site address as silkroadvb5piz3r.onion without the http:// part. Is this normal? I honestly can't remember if the address has always done this or if it was something that happened after the installation. When I click on the grey globe it says that my connection to this website is not encrypted and then when I hit the more information button it shows (under the general tab) that the website identity is http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/.
Can anyone shed some light into whether or not this all looks normal? I all worried my computer is unsafe now...
Thanks!
