Comment on Onion Browser (iOS Tor web browser, open source) now available in the App Store

Comments

Wow I'm a little surprised Apple let this one through! Looks neat!

There’s another one (Covert Browser) that’s been in the store since November that’s got a few issues (lack of cookie support, lack of POST support) that render a lot of websites useless.

Generally I don’t think this is (on the face) any worse than a regular third-party browser app: Other apps (games are a great example) are free to implement custom communication protocols and there are plenty of unsavory / underground / illicit websites on the regular internet. Tor has a lot of legitimate and illegitimate uses, but that can pretty much be said of web-based communication in general.

Just chiming in to say nice work Mike, and that it's nice to see another former Plus-One'r around these parts =)
