Orweb: Private Web Browser

Orweb: Private Web Browser is a secure and anonymous web browsing app compatible with Android devices.

Overview and Functionality

Orweb: Private Web Browser is designed to provide users with a secure and anonymous internet browsing experience, powered by the Tor network. To fully utilize its features, users are required to install Orbot, a crucial app for operating on the Tor network. Once installed, users can enjoy private browsing that allows for access to a broad range of websites, even those which are typically censored, monitored, or hidden.

Key Features

The main aim of Orweb: Private Web Browser isn’t to replace your default browser, but to offer a secure and private browsing option when required. As such, its feature list might seem sparse compared to mainstream browsers. For instance, Orweb does not save your web browsing history, a critical aspect of maintaining privacy.

Performance

Generally, users should expect a slower browsing experience due to the inherent nature of the Tor network. The trade-off between speed and privacy is a foreseeable consequence of using a network designed to anonymize your online presence. Despite this and a few other minor inconveniences, Orweb: Private Web Browser stands out as an incredibly useful tool for those who value online privacy and freedom.

Security and Privacy

While Orweb's protective filter isn't entirely foolproof (with some claims of the NSA locating Tor users), it does provide a high level of anonymity and privacy. It allows users to access online content from anywhere, regardless of geopolitical restrictions or censorship efforts.

Summary

Orweb: Private Web Browser might not boast an array of features or an aesthetically pleasing interface, but it doesn't need to. Its power lies in its purpose: to provide a highly secure and private browsing tool that respects user anonymity and bypasses internet censorship.

Pros

• Offers anonymous and secure browsing via the Tor network.
• Allows access to censored, monitored or hidden websites.
• Does not save browsing history.

Cons

• Requires the separate installation of Orbot.
• Tends to offer a slower browsing experience due to the nature of the Tor network.
• Lacks many features found in mainstream browsers.

Web pages no longer show up in "recent apps" or screenshots. Add "panic button" response, when Orweb receives the trigger it shuts down and clears its history. This works with our Ripple app and iilab's Panic Button.
