Features & Capabilities

Onion Browser is the original free and open-source Tor-powered web browser for iOS, built to enhance privacy by routing traffic through the Tor network and enabling access to onion sites.

It includes features to fight online tracking, such as blocking scripts and automatically clearing cookies and tabs, while noting that Tor can be slower and may face network restrictions.

User Reviews

Onion Browser is praised for privacy and Tor-based browsing on iOS, including official/open-source branding and onion-site access without subscriptions. However, many reviews report reliability problems: Orbot often disconnects or loops, connections fail or don’t stay up, and performance can be slow, especially on weaker networks. There are iOS 26 compatibility issues and a removal of bridge support in updates. The app resets its state when backgrounded. Despite these, its privacy protections and Tor integration remain the primary draw.
Pros
  • Strong privacy/anonymity via Tor/Orbot integration
  • Official Tor Project iOS browser / open-source and free
  • Access to onion sites / browse Tor network on iOS
  • No subscription pressure / minimal monetization
  • Privacy-focused security praised by users
Cons
  • Orbot connectivity instability and looping (frequent disconnections)
  • General connection reliability issues / can't stay connected
  • Inconsistent performance / slower speeds on some networks
  • iOS 26 compatibility issues (memory limits / bridge removal)
  • App resets or loses state when backgrounded
