You answered my question with the same question. I don't know. What
does this offer over Onion Browser?

I'm curious how recommendations get made in this app store. Red Onion
wasn't cross-referenced to Onion Browser. I'm starting to understand
why people write to support at guardianproject.info with messages like
"is this app secure?" There seems to be little to no cross-reference
of duplicate functionality. I'll post a comment linking to the source
code of Onion Browser. Thanks Nathan.
