That diagram is mixing up the deep web with the dark web. Deep web: Not findable by search engine. Includes content that can only be reached after login, which is the vast majority of web content. Dark web: Not findable by search engine, and therefore a subset of the deep web. Can only be reached using a TOR-enabled browser. Makes up a very tiny portion of web content.
I thought the "deep web" also contained all the company networks behind firewalls and the like. Ex: Remote into your office servers for files even though they are not publicly available, nor indexed by search engines, they are still part of "the web".
So basically you don't know the difference between the deep web and the dark web. You don't need a dedicated browser to use the deep web. Anything behind a login page is the deep web. If you use your bank website, you've used the deep web.
I appreciate the education, but "Deep web" just means things not indexed by Google. This can be done by a password/identity requirement, or as simple as a robots.txt file that says "go away" to search engines.
Yeah, I could understand private, especially business databases have a lot of data, but that's not part of the internet. I'm too braindead to come up with a good metaphor here but there's a difference between tor and calling things that were never meant to be publicly accessible through any means "the deep web".

I'm giving less and less of a shit about the part I can see, no need for a deep dive

It's not as nefarious as one would think.

assuming anyone reads robots.txt anyway

I wonder if google removing their "don't be evil" motto has some correlation to that...

Quick fact check: The Tor network is estimated to be around three ten-thousandths of one percent (0.0003%) of the size of the public internet.
It's not "500x larger". It's teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeny tiny.
Sulexar
They're trying to use deep web and dark web interchangeably. The deep web is 500x larger (probably more). The dark web is tiny.

Its a bit of a weird point in this post. That one is not about Tor specifically. It also includes database, private, and protected servers.
