Pretty good app. I have it set as default because it stops me from accidentally clicking shady links while I'm scrolling because you can set it to have to click the 'connect' button before anything loads at all which gives you a chance to back out before anything loads at all! Definitely serves its purpose as a browser too!

Very good program, no problems establishing and maintaining a connection to the Tor Network and accessing restricted websites. There are a few small bugs: -I wish there was an option in the settings to automatically connect to the Tor Network when the application is started, instead of requiring the user manually click the onion-shaped "START" button. I only launch this app on my device when I intend to connect to the Tor Network, it would make sense to connect-on-launch. -There is an option in the settings the user can uncheck to disable Always-On Notifications, but the option does not seem to work. -The "save file" or "save image as" options on webpages does not work. Maybe the application is saving the images somewhere deep in the applications folder, I don't know. But there is nothing in the standard downloads folder in Android, this is inconvenient for most users. Overall though this application does the job, and does it much more smoothly that having to use Orbot and Orfox separately.

It works well, except for one thing: I often get rejected on YouTube with an "unusual traffic" message. I wish the browser would check YT connectivity before assigning an exit point. This error sometimes happens repeatedly, and the only cure is to close the browser, restart it, and hope that you get an exit point that YouTube (Google) "likes". Also, it would be nice if you could specify the country for the exit point as well. Edited

Hello World! I'm not sure what the difference is between this and the regular browser. They are both made by the same project so maybe I should dig in a bit to find out the differences as I haven't noticed any. Overall, the app works great and keeps you hidden from those nasty trackers. Runs pretty snappy, no issues to date. Great job Tor Project! Keep it going!

The recent update (2 days ago), results in a broken application. Always an error that the proxy is refusing connections. This never happened before the most recent update. This application is not usable anymore (at this end). This is sad (because it used to be a terrific application!) - I really hope the next update fixes this. (Sad to give only one star, but the application no longer works here, hoping I can give five stars in the future).
