iOS Users Get Privacy-Focused Onion Browser For Free Many may think that US0.99c was not much to charge for a browser but the fact is that in some countries they cannot purchase off the App Store and there are also many in 3rd world countries users as well as youngsters who don't have an account. This move at least makes it easy for any of them to access the browser. Yes the browser could have been sideloaded for Tor's site but often the site itself is either blocked, or some have concerns that if they obtain it from outside of the App Store, that it may already have spyware in it. From the article: The move has sparked a tidal wave of interest, with the app receiving thousands of downloads every day since the price was removed. The Onion Browser works by encrypting users’ web traffic and tunnelling it through the Tor network, also known as The Onion Router, which was recently blocked in Turkey amidst a government crackdown.
