Buggy – Onion Browser Review
I found the browser buggy when I first used it:
1. I couldn’t sign up for GitHub to report these issues—I was told my email address was invalid or already taken, even though I tried two different email addresses. I already have a GitHub account, but there was no place to sign in.
2. When I went to Google.com, I saw Russian; when I went to Microsoft.com, I saw German. How can I always be sure I see English? I tried /us, /us-en, and .us.
3. Twice I was told unusual traffic was detected. What caused this?
4. My access to Samsung.com was “denied”. Why?
5. A couple times I was told “The connection
appears to be offline.”—then the browser froze.
Updated review:
6. When I tried to do a search at the gold level, the response was “forbidden”. Why? I could only search at the silver level.
7. Why are you collecting email addresses so we can sign up for a newsletter? So you can give the email addresses to the authorities?
I conclude your browser is not as private as it should be.
