Orfox

Today, mobile devices are used to visit the Internet on par with personal computers. That's why users have a need for a ported Tor browser that allows them to ignore ISP bans and visit hidden sites on the "onion" Internet. For this purpose, the Orfox application, developed on the basis of Firefox, is best suited. During development, the graphical shell was not affected, so users are waiting for a familiar interface.

Features

After installing the Orfox application on a smartphone, the user can freely access his favorite sites and use social networks without the restrictions of the provider. Even if the Internet address is blocked by a government organization, there will be no obstacles. The browser substitutes the real IP address and redirects traffic through a special encrypted channel. Transmitted or received data cannot be decrypted by the provider, so the security of use is guaranteed.

Cons

The Orfox program has a few drawbacks that can be noticed when using it. First, you can open only one tab, but if the developers optimize the code in the future, the problem will be solved. Secondly, some sites do not display important elements of the page (confirmation buttons, video players) - this is a kind of payment for anonymity. Thirdly, the connection speed is very slow, so you have to wait several minutes for the page of interest to load. This is also a feature of the "onion" network.

It is important to consider

When installing the application, you should download an additional software component Orbot, designed to create routing between Tor nodes. The download is performed automatically - you only need to confirm the corresponding action. Subsequently, Orbot does not need to be opened manually - it will be launched automatically when you open the main application.
