Why don't you just use the normal web? The hidden web only has the attribute of being hidden. The battle there is not technological, it's of winning the argument with the general public that you should be allowed freedom and not have to hide stuff.

There is nothing "general public" about it.

Its a bunch of special interest within the M-I-I complex that love the ability to be able to track every conversation in real time 24/7/365.

That they wrap themselves in "think of the X/Y/Z" should be transparent.

But thanks to media playing along with the argument that even touching someone younger than adult (never mind that USA have some of the most conservative age of consent laws) is pedophilia, because it makes for more eyeballs and therefore more ad revenue, the bozos have the perfect argument that bypasses the brain and goes straight for the feels.

Privacy should not have to be defended, it should be the default.
