If you want to hide your every move, Onion Browser is an app that uses Tor proxy servers to hide your activities from ISPs, other Wi-FI connections, and more.

We’ve talked about ways to Tor in Chrome and Firefox before, and Onion Browser uses the same basic premise. It tunnels your browsing through a Tor proxy server so websites don’t see your IP address and it encrypts all of your information before it leaves your device. Loading pages in Onion Browser takes a lot longer than normal, but you’ll be completely anonymous when you’re doing it. Onion Browser is a 99¢ download for iPhone and iPad.
