Description
ORWEB HAS BEEN RETIRED AFTER MANY YEARS OF GOOD SERVICE! You can learn more here or read on below: https://guardianproject.info/2015/06/30/orfox-aspiring-to-bring-tor-browser-to-android/
There are now three new options for you to browser easily through Tor with Orbot:
1) Use Orfox, the NEW browser for Orbot based on Tor Browser and Firefox, that is currently in stable BETA, here on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.guardianproject.orfox - and please send any support issue to support@guardianproject.info
2) Use Orbot's VPN mode feature to proxy any app through Tor. WARNING: This does not make you anonymous, but does help you get through firewalls, filters and other network troubles that may be blocking access to a website or app. You can use Chrome browser with this, but your identity won't be protected, ONLY your network traffic.
3) Use Lightning Browser, a "light' browser that supports Tor proxying with Orbot, but not all of the privacy features and security hardening of Orfox. Good for phones with less memory / storage.

Recent changes: Web pages no longer show up in "recent apps" or screenshots. Add "panic button" response, when Orweb receives the trigger it shuts down and clears its history. This works with our Ripple app and iilab's Panic Button.

Comments on Orweb: Private Web Browser for Android
★★★★★
Tor, Orweb browser. Great stuff still road testing.
★★★★★
Works well This is a good browser and does what you need it to do. The only reason why I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars is that it has problems loading some .onion sites, but that could be because the sites aren't optimized for mobile. If this browser added tabs it would easily be the best tor browser out there.
★★★★★
Dont save image or video Dont save images or videos for your privacy..even if you have vpn or orbot...it will force close if you save video or images
★★☆☆☆
Web page down. Recently, I have not been able to use the browser. Had anyone else experienced this problem?
