Onion Surf is a private browser for Ubuntu Touch that routes all internet traffic through the Tor network. It includes some quality-of-life additions like a hiding address bar, reader mode and some privacy flags enabled by default.
It will be updated with every Tor release to stay secure.
This browser lacks all the features that make a "real" Tor browser (based on Firefox) secure and private, and it is easily fingerprintable. WebRTC can't be disabled, which means some websites could be able to see your real IP (these issues will be fixed in the future).
Use this browser if:
-You want to hide your real IP from most non-malicious websites.
-You want to confuse ad networks.
-You want a (small) additional layer of privacy.
Don't use this browser if:
-You need to blend in with other Tor users (use the Tor Browser for that).
-You are a whistleblower.
-You want to hide from a three-letter agency (good luck with that).
Only a PC running a free BIOS and Tails will be able to give you any real semblance of anonymity. Act accordingly.

Useless, don't do anything you'd expect from an app using tor.

Годный браузер для Tor и комплексной анонимности. Сразу нашёл сервер.

development in progress (v 0.4.3), help and advices from developers wanted (see github) as this app cannot function partially to play fully its role : some flaws that prevent the browser from being truly anonymous must be fixed, and the app must become ad blocking compatible. I like very much the scrolling of web pages which is very fluid on the Volla, never choppy contrary with morph-browser where it can happen.

WebRTC leak reveals true IP, which was the main feature advertised by the dev. I understand it is a work in progress and seen the dev have brainstorming conversations in the telegram group. Thank you for starting this project.
