Pornhub (pornhub.com) is a porn tube site owned by Aylo (formerly MindGeek) which owns other sites such as YouPorn, RedTube, and Brazzers. It offers free porn videos. It is known for its high-definition short videos that are often snippets taken from premium videos you would otherwise have to pay for the full versions. Pornhub also offers user profiles and for users to upload their own porn content. A user profile can also add friends similar to a social media site such as Facebook. According to its Wikipedia page, PornHub is the 13th most trafficked site in the world and only second to Xvideos in the pornography niche. Pornhub gets a lot of its traffic from search engines, particularly its category and tag pages which are often high-trafficked pages for some of the most browsed porn categories.

DESCRIPTION
The homepage of pornhub.com looked similar to many other porn tube sites I have reviewed but that wouldn’t be fair because I know PornHub was the pioneer of the design that they use: orange logo, black background, and the general page wrap and page width the site has along with its thumbnail style. Pornhub.com had 16 rows of video thumbnails with four thumbnails per row. Each thumbnail showed me a preview of the video when I hovered over it. The thumbnails were linked directly to single post pages of those videos. If I wanted to browse for a category I had to choose that category from the menu in the header, which is the standard way for a porn tube site to present to me their content. There were tags above the top ow of video thumbnails on the homepage that generally featured pornstar names. Sometimes when I moved the mouse around the homepage, it would load a series of thumbnails from the menu. These alternative thumbnails loaded too easily in my opinion and gave a spammy feel to them which is unlike PornHub. I took a look at what section of the site kept popping up on my display and it was the Live Cam category flyout with its thumbnails. This is the paid section of the site that links directly to networked links on livehdcams.com. I hovered over the other categories to see if they had flyouts that acted the same and in my opinion, they took longer to load/were less likely to load on my display.

Is pornhub.com Safe?
I analyzed pornhub.com for malware and malicious content to check if it was legit or a scam. Here are the results:
I checked the site pornhub.com on Sucuri, and it returned with no issues.
I then ran a parasite scan with Unmask Parasites on pornhub.com, and it is suspicious.
I have listed the script below:
var atatusLoad=function(){var c=document.querySelector("head");function e(){var t;1==(t={min:1,max:14448},min=Math.ceil(t...
Unmask Parasites calls it a “long suspicious script.”
I also checked pornhub.com on the online malware scanner VirusTotal and it isn’t flagged as malicious; however, it does have a very unfavorable community score.
In conclusion, Sucuri says pornhub.com doesn’t have malware. Unmask Parasites says pornhub.com has 1 suspicious inline script. VirusTotal says the domain pornhub.com isn’t malicious; however, it does have an unfavorable community score. OVERALL GRADE: Relatively Safe.

MindGeek has been bought by the Canadian private equity firm Ethical Capital Partners (ECP). MindGeek owns PornHub, RedTube, and Brazzers.

Pornhub gets so much traffic that they found it useful to buy the domain Pornhub.co so all the people who forget to type the “m” still get redirected to the Pornhub.com domain. Perhaps even funnier, you can find many reviews online for Pornhub.co as though people are unaware the actual site is Pornhub.com.

I want to learn how to download pornhub videos.
January 13, 2023 @ 19:32
According to Pornhub, you can download nearly all premium content. However, you cannot download videos from people’s profiles if they are free videos. The reason you get to download the premium videos is that you pay for the subscription that then allows you to download the content and keep it. They are forced to do this to compete with other platforms that also allow you to download the content such as OnlyFans among other platforms.

p o r n h u b was created by Feras Antoon. He is the owner of MindGeek and the founder of Pornhhub. There are many articles about him online. I believe he was a co-founder of Pornhub. He is not on social media even though Google links to a Twitter and Instagram account when you Google his name. They are not him. He is not a public figure. It is wise for most founders not to be so nobody dislikes them.

Pornhub and MindGeek were founded by the same people. There were four co-founders. Pornhub and MindGeek were founded in Canada. The four co-founders are Feras Antoon, Stephane Manos, Ouissam Youssef, and Matt Keezer. The four of them were students together at Montreal’s Concordia University.

I have been using PornHub for many years. Not much has changed over the years. Around ten years ago they made some changes to the category menu which I didn’t like because the categories I used to click on now require an extra click to open up the rest of the menu. But I presume they did that because they wanted to put their most used cateries to the top which allowed most of their traffic better navigation. And maybe it has been one of the reasons for their success. I don’t use PornHub that much anymore. I don’t particularly enjoy any porn tube sites nowadays. I used cam sites instead. But if I were to use a tube site, I would probably choose Xvideos first. I find browsing categories easier and something decent to watch easier than on PornHub. But PornHub is probably in my top 3 tube sites.
