Does .onion exist?

Not really. Not in the public DNS — .onion addresses are real but only work inside the Tor network.

The full story

.onion is a special-use TLD (RFC 7686) for Tor hidden services. The addresses are cryptographically generated, resolve only through Tor, and deliberately never touch the public DNS. It exists, but in a parallel network — a normal browser without Tor gets nothing.

Wondering about another extension? Every real TLD is in the directory.
