## 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 Canada

### *---- "Useless since Orbot"
Ever since the app started forcing you to se Orbot it became useless. Orbot doesn’t work more than 90% of the time. Therefor you cannot use this app. Hence, useless. I wish you would delete the Orbot requirement so I could go back to using this browser
-- BrEcNo, 2024-07-12

### ***** "Nice"
It’s good for doing dr*g5 and not get caught by the police

Just joking

I’m actually testing it and using safe sites like DuckDuckGo and some clearnet websites as well
-- ilocerobloxoof, 2024-04-10

### *---- "Now forces a specific VPN to be used"
Formerly great, now junk.
-- uidzero, 2023-12-12

### *---- "Doesn’t work"
It used to work just fine but now they made it so you have to have a separate app called Orbot to do literally anything and that app barely works.
-- SSK ALL DAY, 2023-11-27

### **--- "Onion Browser, RIP"
with the advent of Orbot, you have to fall on your knees and grant access to you device. How invasive is that.
-- Cerumental, 2023-11-02

### *---- "No longer works"
The dependence on a 3rd party buggy vpn provider has destroyed this app.
-- Vicchris614, 2023-08-26

### *---- "It was great, until it required Orbot which ruined it"
I loved this browser until the developer decided that the TOR part of it should be run by another app, Orbot. I’ve only successfully connected to TOR with Orbot once. Every time I try to connect it times out, disconnects within seconds or just doesn’t even try to connect. Since the Onion Browser requires Orbot now, it is basically nonfunctional, which really sucks.
-- The End of Privacy, 2023-08-23

### *---- "Self own"
Used to be a great little app which decided to commit utility sepuku by forcing the useless and buggy orbot add on which works about 5% of time at best as a dependency.
-- Dhemon, 2023-08-18

### **--- "For all that is holy."
Please make the Orbot app optional, majority of the users who access TOR already have their own VPN providers, this extra middle-man should be bypassed after setup.
-- GuardYaGrill, 2023-07-19

### ****- "How do I get the key?"
I’m trying to use notevil but I need a key to launch it I need help
-- ugre hff, 2023-07-12

### *---- "Orbot destroyed the app"
It no longer works at all. Deleted, after some 6 years of faithful service.
-- FooshShow, 2023-06-19

### *---- "Depends on Orbot"
Great job making your app dependent on another app (Orbot) which doesn’t work on my phone (iOS 16.5). You brought in an external app into play without any support if it doesn’t work. It’s like you’re asking people to not use your product. Brilliant!
-- Sid2725, 2023-06-16

### *---- "Now forces you to use a specific VPN"
While I appreciate that using a VPN service can definitely provide added security and anonymity, I very much dislike that the wonderful Tor Onion Browser now forces you to use a VPN, a very specific VPN of their choice. Whether or not we wish to use a VPN system should be our choice, and has nothing to do with the Tor onion system. Having to install VPN software that interacts with all of your devices Internet connections, no matter what the app, even with some degree of turning it off for certain situations, is simply just unacceptable. We should be able to choose if we want to use a VPN or not, and if so, we should be able to choose which VPN we use. With that, I’ll be deleting and no longer using this Onion Browser on my devices, and will be using alternate ways/apps to access that network. Very unfortunate as the Onion Browser was very handy, simple, clean and a separate self-contained app (before this change).
-- MasterFR, 2023-06-15

### ****- "I’m having a issue with activation words?"
I’ve been on haystack but every time I try to open a url it asks me for it, I don’t know what to do?
-- williamcats, 2023-02-25

### *---- "Doesnt work"
Won’t load
-- ev304567, 2023-01-05

### *---- "This does not work on iPad"
When I tap links on my iPad, nothing happens.
-- slideguy07, 2022-12-21

### *---- "useless.."
came hacked. tried redownloading it a few times.. gave up..
-- bsherk, 2022-10-21

### ***** "Low Ratings are From Noobs Who Can’t Troubleshoot"
It works perfectly fine and has been for quite some time. I’d say leverage a VPN and maybe lighten the security strength a bit if you’re struggling.
If you’re tryna access DW on mobile, you’re just an idiot.
-- Dolf Blitzer, 2022-09-24

### *---- "Not usable"
I suppose it’s fine. If you’re into ‘90s era dialup speeds and zero productivity. You have to be really into hiding yourself and have a load of time on your hands to subject yourself to this.
-- Mama__b, 2022-08-03

### ***** "Works perfectly fine?"
All the people that say it doesn’t work or is slow, yeah… duh? It works perfectly fine, it’s just not as fast as chrome/safari…
-- Whatsinit, 2022-05-23
