Onion Browser can't save anything. about onionbrowser HOT 4 CLOSED

It’s an improvement I haven’t had time to work on, but it’s also partially an iOS limitation (there is no “download” functionality in Safari, except for images).

If you look at other (non-Tor) browser apps like iCab, they implement everything on their own and store the downloaded data within the app itself. It’d be a significant bit of work to recreate that here. Been too busy to work on new features for the past few months, unfortunately. (This app is just a side project of mine.)

[Closing since this is a dupe of issue #10.]

Also: you don’t have to “buy a new version” since once you’ve bought the app through the App Store, all updates are free.

Thanks a lot for your quick answer to my thread. I'm sorry if this one was, in fact, a double from #10 but I really was hoping that the new version would implement a button "save as". I live in a developping country in South East Asia and connections are so slow here (average 15k/s maximum ....) that when I come across something nice I would like to save it. If I want to share funny and sometimes amazing discoveries of the deep web with friends I have no other choice (using my iPod 4) than to make a screenshot. Frustrating ;)
Anyway Onion Browser is an amazing piece of work when you know that Tor Project made a Tor for nearly everything (android, Mac, Pc, Linux, Unix, Ubuntu, Symbian, etc) except for iOs users. Even more amazing knowing that this is only one of your side projects.
Thanks a lot for the hard work. Well I sincerely hope that you'll find a way to implement a save button even if it's only to "save image as", it would be great for me and probably many users. For what I read here and there it's, with minor security issues, the main complaint.

Good luck for the rest of your developpements in progress. I hope you'll find time for this update in a next release. Sincerely.

It needs a “share” button like all other browsers. Right now one cannot export/share e.g. sci-hub articles to a pdf viewer.
