Have Tor on all my systems, along with Surfeasy VPN. In this climate we need stay below the tree lines.
APP needs renamed to Forbidden-Time Out
reviewreviewrrview name
Because that’s all that happens. Search on DuckDuckGo, takes me to a “forbidden” page. Doesn’t matter what I search, I am forbidden. Copy-paste a link to address bar, hit go... sits for 3-4 minutes with an 8th of a load bar, then I get a “timed out” error. TL;DR- This app is broken, literally does nothing but burns through battery charge.
2nd Update, Updated Review

We can now see images without JAVASCRIPT! Thanks Mike! So far with the IP checks, running VPN’s, running WEB RTC checks I can’t find too many issues, only unique identifiers, but we are mobile app, not TOR browser. Thanks for the hard work Mike and updating the App!
Please bring back open in new tab option
fails now
This update killed the open in new tab when pressing on a link. The new open in background tab feature is not there either.
Issues
2847dnfufbc
Regardless of what I search for through DuckDuckGo, the result says “forbidden”. Also, sites that used to load after I typed in their url, no longer load completely. I don’t know if this was an update problem or what but now the browser is pretty much useless.
Everything is forbidden
Havata Ins
When I search for anything using this TOR browser, every search gives me a page with the word “forbidden “. There is no way around it. Before this most recent update, it seemed to work well, with the exception of trying to watch videos. They would never load. Until these problems are fixed, I will be looking for a better browser.
Search engine not working after latest update
Disc0 bliss
The DuckDuckGo engine does not work after the latest June 2019 update. Any search term put in to the engine elicits a “forbidden” blank page. Why isn’t the developer addressing this? I see numerous complaints of this problem. Operating on iOS 12.1.4 Have used this app for at least 2 years prior to this
Browse Wi-Fi without the router watching!
WindowToaster
On Wi-Fi routers, the person who owns the Wi-Fi can look at a log of which websites have been visited. Not here! On Onion, it ends at the first forward slash. This is great when I want to web-search something cringy without anyone knowing. I recommend this app to anyone who is worried about being laughed at by the Wi-Fi owner because they like to play <game everyone else thinks is boring>, they want to learn about <seriously, that would have been useful information a hundred years ago> or they can't spell <sight word> right!
Not connecting
Selfdestruct264
I used to have no issues connecting to the network. It takes around 30-60 seconds. Now I wait over e minutes and eventually things time out. I have tried on our Xfinity WiFi and on Verizon Cellular on my iPad Pro. No dice. If I can get connected I’ll update this review.
