Disabled until upgrade begging is finished

On launching the app, a begging message pops up and blocks you from using the app. It wants you to upgrade to the pro version. The message is on a timer that keeps getting longer and longer, disabling the app longer and longer. You either need to upgrade, or endure longer and longer times as punishment for not upgrading.
I fully expect the app will become disabled entirely until you give them money. Extortion-lite is not a good motivator. It builds resentment and negative feelings towards the beggars.
It’s a short-sighted and greedy practice. Shame.

Love it and learning

I’m new and loving the new lessons in life. Always wanted to learn tor and how to use it. Have zero knowledge but willing to learn live the app

Total Rubbish

Most of the time, this will not load up censored web pages. Even simple pages that are censored in e.u (even though the uk is not supposed to be in the e.u) will not load up. The pages just permanently hang, or load up telling you that you cannot view this page in the e.u. I’m astonished that they actually want you to pay for a subscription for something that obviously doesn’t work 90% of the time. I have spent nearly two years trying to use this totally useless application. Why is this rubbish still in the app store.

“Freemium” scam

I’ve heard the horror stories of Brave and Opera, so I decided to try this at the recommendation of some users off Lemmy…they must’ve been astroturfing because they peddled this as a free, private experience—and they lied. Instead, this is a “freemium” browser—you can use it, but only at the expense of slow speeds and constant self-promotion unless you upgrade—and it ensures that any search or even opening the app is preceded by promoting its own “premium” service that makes it go faster with its own VPN. Guess I’ll keep searching for browsers because the experience is honestly worse than Chrome or Edge. Pathetic.

As anonymous as it gets

Seeing as to everything is under mass surveillance today wether you have something to hide or not this organization makes me feel like I can make spying 10 percent more difficult which is a win to me courtesy of Edward Snowden of course

Tor browser

So I have a few mixed thoughts on this. First off, it is a secure browser. But something I don’t like about it is that ieliegal things like child pornography pop up all the time. Another thing is is that someone who is looking at cp or anything else their ip can get directed to you. 4/5 stars

A serious browser!

I have used a lot of different browsers and most are really good what makes TOR different is comes packed with extra security features like a VPN. The functionality is really good as is the look and feel. Definitely worth trying if you have had problems with other brands.

Amazing app

In my opinion this is easily the best option for any kind of privacy. The browser is nice and the built in vpn is just perfect. I’ve had no problems with the app and it’s done a lot for me.

Very annoying

About every 10 minutes that you are on tor, an ad pops up and covers the screen trying to get you to pay $3.99 a week to become ad free and a few other benefits. If you don’t want to start paying, there is no way to close that ad. It covers the screen and you have to close down the app and reset it to make it go away. You lose whatever you were doing and have to pull it all back up again since there is no search history. Very very frustrating!
