👍

Oh yeah works

Closes tabs automatically

Just reverts to previous pages, closes tabs, and opens new ones randomly.

No free browsing

Actual browsing is stuck behind a paywall that requires monthly payments, better to use Tor browser for free on pc

Perfect Development ❤️‍🩹

I am very supportive of the authors of this project, thank you for doing your best.
I am also a developer, if cooperation is possible or interesting, I will join the repository with pleasure! 🥰

Unusable

Resets instantly if focus is lost. This does not require putting the browser into the background, it will halt if you peek at the notification center.

We need a better option on iOS

App crashes upon adding bookmark every time on iPhone

I love tor

tor might be the best app I’ve ever downloaded i can finally visit onion websites and protect my privacy even though it loads really slowly sometimes I still recommend it

Just keeps requesting Orbot

I’ve installed Orbot VPN and it’s working but the Onion Browser just keeps asking for permission from Orbot. Can’t do anything, move on nothing. Doesn’t work at all. Just use Proton and Brave.

Trash browser

Extremely slow. Feel sorry for anyone donating money for this garbage browser. It’s useless. My grandma can walk faster than this browser. Honestly use tor on android and it’s super fast.

Не работает

Не работает , черный экран и все ничего не происходит пробовал переустановить ничего не меняется

Trash browser

Extremely slow. Feel sorry for anyone donating money for this garbage browser. It’s use

Can't connect

I cannot connect, using Orbot with either a Direct Connection or Smart Connect. I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max with iOS 26.6.1. This happens whether lockdown mode is on or off. Since you have your own VPN, I turned ExpressVPN off.

Can’t change language

My device language is not my language so apps and websites belive i am in the contry my vpn is set too but in this app you can’t change the language so i can’t understand.

Excellent navigateur en mode PC

J’utilise ce navigateur depuis maintenant quelques mois et c’est le meilleur lorsque l’on utilise un iPad en mode desktop (avec un clavier et souris externe). Les clicks droit sur des interfaces web dynamique marches à merveille. Et en plus il est très rapide et régulièrement mis à jour.

Opera works better

These apps do not be supported really. iOS inat great.

funktioniert

es läuft ganz flüssig. Mal weitersehen :)

Nothing good in the dark web

Do a little search and it all show illegal contents, do not use this app

Unuseable

This browser is virtually unusable. The phone screen will time out before the webpage will load, and when you wake the phone back up, it wipes the webpage back to the home screen. This is not the way.

Tor was great until….

You are forced to use orbit app which is complete garbage. I hate that you have to give one star instead of none. STAY FAR FAR AWAY FROM THIS APP!

Best option

Simple and straightforward. Thanks👍🏻
