A wonderful browsing app with absolute unshakable privacy. I don't have enough words to say but if you need an app, and you value privacy over anything then I would say to give your absolute trust to this app it is reliable and low requiring just like any other browsing app. The app has not a single add or pay to unlock system, it is 100 percent free and I would say it's the best private browsing app.

Very nice. One thing though, which is that sometimes the app clears itself and deletes my open tabs, maybe because the app loses the connection to the internet. I would like my tabs to be saved for at least maybe 12 hours or at another interval set by myself before the app clears itself.

Stupid app won't open anything keeps saying "proxy refuse connection" as soon as it opens... Used to be great now it's trash... EDIT: app updated 9/9/26, same as my last review... app continues to be trash. Thought updates made apps more useable no render them unusable... If I could, I changed my 1-star rating to -5 stars... app updated 3 day ago... is keeps getting worse "proxy refuse connection" and "connection timeout" app used to be great and just keeps getting worse every update.

Everything is good but for browser is giving anonymous web surfing what about permissions which tor is getting to access camera, and a lot of others. What about them. Delete the permissions you are stealing the data

I compaired it side by side to Firefox if it's worth switching. It would take way longer to load something as simple as "hello". I also tested this with specific websites, and it also took a lot longer for that aswell. The app also seems to have incredibly similar UI to Firefox, which I found very odd. This leads me to believe that the browser is just a Firefox rip-off that barely could get the job done. The only use is to browse in.onion This makes this at best a secondary option.

For all your claims about "privacy" why am I not able to block my location under site settings on your app? I can't even select it to change the option from "Ask to allow" to block sites from accessing location. That's not protecting privacy if people can't choose wether they want to block their location or not. 👎

I preferred the previous design over the one in the most recent update. The new layout feels cluttered and complex, losing the simplicity and efficiency it had before. The main menu has become overly cumbersome to navigate. Furthermore, bookmarks no longer open in a new tab by default; instead, they overwrite the current active tab, which significantly hurts the user experience and slows down efficiency
