This latter model is not available on iOS and, it turns out, iOS puts some additional restrictions on apps like ours as well. Tor Browser for Android uses a similar model, though the general purpose Orbot app for Android is separate from the applications using its services (apps configure Orbot as a proxy, in the same manner as SOCKS). In Onion Browser, our Tor connectivity runs in the same process as the browser itself. Though we’ve worked with Mike in the recent-past, this 2019 project – funded by the Open Technology Fund – gave us significantly more bandwidth to address the challenges of running Tor on iOS, especially alongside a full web-browsing feature set. Mike developed Onion Browser on his own, in close collaboration with the Tor Project. Here we re-cap the major improvements currently - and soon-to-be - available.
During 2019, Guardian Project has been working with developer Mike Tigas to make improvements to his Tor-enabled web browser for iOS, Onion Browser.
