## Onion Browser Description
Onion Browser is the original free and open-source Tor-powered web browser for iOS. Onion Browser helps you access the internet with more safety and privacy, and no extra cost to you.

“The best Tor-related offering on iOS right now is Onion Browser” - The Daily Dot, October 14, 2015.

Featured in: The New York Times, The Guardian, Salon, TechCrunch, Gizmodo, Boing Boing, Lifehacker, Macworld, The Daily Dot, & others.

FEATURES:
• Browse the internet over Tor:
- Protect your privacy from website tracking
- Secure your traffic from insecure wireless networks and ISPs
- Access .onion sites that are only accessible over Tor.

• Fight online tracking: block scripts and automatically clear cookies and tabs, based on your preferences.

• And more privacy-enhancing features!

DISCLAIMERS:
- Web browsing is much slower than through a normal web browser or a VPN because your traffic is encrypted and relayed through the Tor network.

- Onion Browser might not work on networks with advanced network restrictions. If the app does not connect, try using bridges (or a different type of bridge), force-quit, and then restart the app.

- Use of Onion Browser is at your own risk; remember that sensitive data does not always belong on a mobile device.

** Onion Browser is free and open-source software. You can read more about Onion Browser and how to support development of Tor on iOS by visiting onionbrowser.com **

## Onion Browser Reviews in Australia

### *---- "Useless"
Gold security breaks websites so they don’t even properly load and silver has no added advantage over a regular website such as Safari private mode. It doesn’t allow you to bypass YouTube’s age restriction feature and Invidious still requires you to sign in even on the Tor alternative websites. Might as well go back to using Safari’s private mode. At least I got this cool free VPN called Orbot, I doubt it actually accesses your data unlike the other ones as it’s actually supported by the same person who made Tor
-- Someguy5738, 2024-10-11

### *---- "It falls asleep and deletes"
Waiting for my site to download the screensavers kicks in and when I wake it up the “browser” is back to square one. There’s no back button nor continuance from where it left off.

I tried multiple times to download but I couldn’t sit all day and chance my tail
-- wantingmoreofit, 2024-08-22

### **--- "Sadly, could be much better."
it's almost rendered useless. It's slow, which tor itself has become, but the apps number 1 privacy setting (gold) literally doesnt allow any sites to be displayed, even search engine results often dont show up. 

If u want to view anything you have to enable javascript (silver setting). Meh. Becomes like any other non private browser then.

Dont expect much.
-- Walksky32, 2023-08-15

### *---- "App is security threat"
As soon as i used this someone tried to hack my email over 30 times in 2 hours. Dont download.
-- WhiteheadDom, 2023-08-05

### *---- "New update no good"
I can’t open the browser now. I’m in Australia. I use to be able to get straight onto it until now when we have to install Orbot. I installed it but I can’t connect to a bridge. Just an infinite loop of being unsuccessful to connect. Will probably be switching to the other Tor browser on the App Store now.
-- YungDoaks, 2023-07-20

### *---- "FORCES YOU TO USE NON-INDEPENDENT ASSESSED VPN"
TOR Browser can not use their own independent VPN and requires users to use Orbot VPN (which there is no independently accredited assessment of that I could find).
-- JJ1981, 2023-07-04

### *---- "Latest Update"
The new update that now requires orbot doesn’t work at all. “Request Access” button does absolutely nothing.
-- James363690485321468, 2023-06-28

### ****- "An excellent way to connect via tor"
The browser quickly connects to the tor network and is stable and fast to use . Version 2 is even better.
-- TBOTO, 2023-03-13

### ****- "Language Translations"
Great app, please implement language translation for the current page a user is on. Similar to what safari does now.
-- Kawahjad, 2022-11-04

### *---- "No privacy"
Cia is now promoting the use of this app 😂😂😂
-- Sarmayhem, 2022-08-31

### **--- "Not working"
Either Pakistani internet heavily monitored or the browser needs devs attention.
-- yasir134, 2021-09-16

### ***** "Only Tor browser I would trust"
Google "Mike Tigas" the developer of this app and you will understand. Worked great for me, and I really liked the pre-saved bookmarks including the dark web address for Facebook. Only thing I didn't like is the button for the settings of the browser which is quite misleading (that button is typically used for saving bookmarks or calling another app)
-- •The•Funky•Buddha•, 2021-07-21

### *---- "Not working"
It doesn’t work at all 😡
-- geteffed, 2021-04-25

### *---- "Don’t be bothered"
18/2/2021
Horrible, is so slow that I sat there for 10 minutes and nothing even happened. Don’t bother getting this app. Complete useless. Unless you want to sit there for 500 years waiting for a page that is never going to load. This is so dumb, if I could do negative stars I would put -1000000 stars. This app is horrible.
-- benny101002, 2021-02-17

### *---- "Steal your money"
The app takes your money without asking. It is automatically set to $50
-- angryrobbedwanker, 2021-02-15

### ****- "Download files"
I like this browser, but I wish you could download files.
-- butterflyfish92, 2021-02-15

### *---- "Dodge"
Look, if you’re downloading a browser such as this from an iTunes APP STORE, it is not secure.
-- gooseberry33, 2021-01-05

### *---- "Does not offer country bridges"
As the websites I seek to access are country related, not having the option of country bridges makes the app of no use to me. The bridges offered are just fantasy names.
-- Desuza1970, 2020-12-28

### *---- ""
it doesnt connect
-- MIAG111555888, 2020-08-18

### *---- "Won’t disable JavaScript"
Tried the highest security level and website says JavaScript still isn’t disabled
-- Tom 750, 2020-05-03
