That lagginess and speed reduction is experienced in any TOR browser, it’s not just Onion Browser. Keep in mind that browsing the web with TOR is slow, this is because your network traffic is being distributed around the globe in an attempt to anonymize you and increase your privacy.

The Onion Browser app offers simple TOR usage from iOS should you wish to access onion URLs or have some degree of enhanced anonymity with your web browsing. It’s free and does the job of connecting to TOR, even if Onion Browser is imperfect and a little bit clunky (a more refined version is currently in beta testing but due out soon). For this particular article on quick and easy TOR access from iOS, we’re going to focus on a third party TOR app for iPhone and iPad called Onion Browser.
