    Are there any good iOS Tor browsers? All that I’ve seen are either shit or require some insane subscription.

      Due to Apple’s policies, there are no good ones. The least bad one is called Onion Browser and is recommended by the Tor Project.

        Interesting, is this due to all browsers being required to use Safari or something? I always figured since there are VPNs on iPhone that TOR would be no problem.

          You can use any browser you want with Tor, the issue is that browsers are the main source of tracking and de-anonymization, so by being forced to use Safari there is only so much that Tor can do to keep you anonymous.

        Both are broken as far as I know. First one hasn’t updated for years, and recent reviews for the second one claim it crashes on startup.
