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 **

Ratings and Reviews
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.
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)
Updated browser connects directly?!
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I tapped the onion icon in the top right corner - it showed a direct connection from the browser to the site! Turns out I didn’t have any of the 3 security levels selected. Once I did, a 3 appeared to the left of the address bar. Unbelievable! Who is responsible for updating this browser? The NSA?
