If you are an iPhone user and you think that iPhone is secure just because iOS is not open source with limited updates, and you have to go through heavy monitoring in order to developer iOS apps – you are living in a fool’s paradise.
iPhone is not as secure, or apple doesn’t care about your privacy as much as you might think. In fact a recent investigation by the privacy focused website NoHassleMobilePhones.com discovered that the Apple store had several fitness-tracking apps that were using sneaky in-app payments to steal money from unaware iPhone and iPad users.
If you are looking to make your iPhone or any of your apple devices safe and secure. We have the perfect solution for you; start using secure and private browsers. It is that ridiculously simple.

1. Puffin Browser Pro(iPhone + iPad + iMessage)

It has a built-in speed optimization technique. You can even import bookmarks from other browsers and use Puffin as your default browser. You can also use exciting features like mouse simulator.
Puffin is a complete package, it is highly recommended by us.
2. Red Onion(iPhone + iPad)
Red Onion is one of the most secure browsers for iOS users. It uses TOR technique. TOR or The Onion Routing technique is a security encryption method that binds your data into multiple layers. That is why it is called ‘onion routing’. And no one can peel off these layers – you data is completely safe.
If your school or workplace has set up restrictions, no matter how complex, if you run TOR, you can easily by-pass anything. You can access anything even from a restricted space.

Needless to say that the browser doesn’t store any of your data.
