Tor-powered Anonymous Browser

Features & Capabilities

Purple Onion is a free browser that uses Tor to encrypt and anonymize your traffic, delivering private, censorship-resistant web surfing.

It defends against traffic analysis by bouncing encrypted data through a global network of relays to protect your privacy and help you access blocked sites. Note that Tor-based browsing is significantly slower than direct browsing, but the privacy benefits are substantial. We welcome feedback at jcltravels@gmail.com.

User Reviews

Users largely report stability and compatibility problems: the app crashes on launch, fails to open on newer iOS versions, and VPN functionality is unreliable. Several reviews note the app is effectively abandoned despite past popularity as a TOR browser with a built-in VPN. A few users paid for the app and are left frustrated.

Pros

Historically popular and regarded as the best TOR browser on iOS.
Included a built-in VPN feature.
Earlier reviews described it as capable of accessing Tor sites.

Cons

Crashes on launch / won’t open.
Not compatible with newer iOS versions (e.g., iOS 16/18), causing immediate crashes or non-functionality.
VPN connectivity is unreliable or not functioning consistently.
App appears abandoned / no updates; developer site is down.
