## 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 United States

### **--- "can’t use it"
I can’t use it in china mainland (orbot)
ios:16.7.10
-- lswsab, 2025-01-04

### ***** "Best browser available for the iPhone"
The men and women behind TOR are the great unsung heroes of humanity and deserve the thanks of countless people from across the globe.
-- Moe Zillah, 2025-01-04

### ***** "Free, Open-Source, and No Data-Collected"
As a cybersecurity professional, many recognize buzzwords like “secure”, “tor/onion”, “VPNs”, whatever it may be.

In order to preserve your. Anonymity, the whole purpose is to leave as small as a footprint as possible. Being as this is one of the few, if not only non-for-profit utilitarian application - I believe the developer deserves a coffee fund at least! 

You are doing the world a huge favor!

Excellent application in preserving your online identity, the anonymity provided by the Tor service as you browse the web.

:)
-- girlscoutfather, 2024-12-14

### ****- "Suggestion"
Please make it so you can bring up the bottom toolbar or keep it always showing or have a little arrow to pull it back up.  Many websites don’t allow you to scroll so the bottom toolbar is just hidden and unable to be shown on those websites so you cant tab out or access settings without leaving that website.
-- YbgSC2, 2024-11-17

### ***** "Don‘t join orbot！！！！"
Don't join orbot!!! Ios18 will not be able to connect!!!
-- Don't join orbot!!!, 2024-10-01

### ****- "It still works!"
I would seriously ignore the negative and 1-star reviews. Those people don't know how to use the app. Seriously, one recent review faulted this app for how the onion network itself operates!
Yes, it does work best with Orbot VPN (an official Tor project app), but using that app ensures that 100% of your traffic is safe and anonymous. As of September 2024, this app still works fine for browsing Onion sites. 
My biggest issue with the app is its tab interface and how it handles bookmarks. It just doesn't feel very intuitive.
-- BitingChaos, 2024-09-27

### ***-- "Fake… Ish"
Doesn’t allow actual onion sites, if that’s what your looking for, keep moving. I’d use the Tor Project on your Mac or MacBook if you have one. Since this doesn’t allow onion sites, I’m not quite sure what’s its even for. No Torrid, no security. This leads me to the conclusion its fake, I’m not 100% but if it doesn’t allow onion sites its definitely not a tor or an onion browser.
-- AI tester hobbyist, 2024-09-16

### *---- "Doesn’t work"
Sad, but this app does not work. 09/2024
-- J@m3$ #owl3tt, 2024-09-09

### *---- "This app is a cancer and illegal please banned this app"
Mike you are evil all the times you want those people bandits app now or update it with an ID and everything
-- Unknown 53244, 2024-09-01

### ***** "插件"
建议加装一个插件功能
-- 插件相关, 2024-08-31

### ***** "Good alternative"
Only recommendation to the dev would be to add a long press menu to the tabs icon to close the focused tab or all tabs and to have an option to swipe tabs away to close them in the tab switcher
-- Danini Chan, 2024-07-07

### *---- "Terrible!"
Recently revisiting this app after several years.  It is awful--causes nothing but "security" problems with Google and everything else I search for.  Plus, search results are no different than regular Google search.  I thought I would be able to access Tor or the Deep Web.  Not!  Deleting now.
-- BAR112, 2024-07-01

### ***** "The real one"
Sanctioned by The Tor Project
-- yawnbox, 2024-05-26

### ***** "So far so good"
It’s good on my end with the latest update. Don’t forget to configure the bridge if you can’t connect.
-- Karnol233, 2024-05-01

### *---- "Keeps losing connection with orbot"
Not sure why but it keeps disconnecting orbot.   Orbot usually stays connected but as son as I start using onion browser it loses connection and requests access.  So I have to start all over again
-- Ysivasai, 2024-04-18

### *---- "Does nothing"
Makes me download another app, makes my phone overheat, takes 3 minutes to load an error popup
-- Octane.power, 2024-03-31

### *---- "What do you get when you make an app out of stupidity?"
Onion that blocks the built in duck duck go search engine from displaying results. How intelligent are these people? Do we trust the rest of the app to be built better?
-- Another Village Idiot, 2024-03-24

### **--- "Works some"
Stop making it rely on orbit leave in the built in tor because orbit is objectively worse in every way. This browser is great with the built in tor option, but I am so sick of the constant switching. Just leave the built in tor.
-- Anonymous314759373, 2024-03-01

### *---- "Unusable post-Orbot"
After the Orbot change, Onion Browser is the least reliable software I’ve ever used on a mobile device.
-- jdgdhdkfbsvsjf, 2024-02-01

### ***** "Great app I really like using"
I really enjoy using onion browser it’s a nice app. I’m not going to take a star off because this is more of a request is a way to disable the auto adding of http:// or https:// I know this is a more niche use cause but I use it to connect to HAOS when I’m away from the house and I frequently get left with a blank page if I can’t edit the address quicker than it try’s to load the page
