Should be avoided at all costs.

Quite a vulnerability is created that way.

Don't take it from me, research further.

I was doing this last summer, and was chastised from people pretty high up, not just on SR, but on TOR.

Keep it on a secure computer. Better yet on a flash drive.

There's no such thing as being too careful on here. Although there seems to be a new crop, that is very brazen, and will ruin it for the rest of us.

I just ask that you research further before you proceed. Sure it works. That doesn't mean it's advisable.

Smart phones are the most hackable computers made.

There isn't an official Tor browser in the iTunes Store, so I'm guessing you're talking about Onion Browser. The last time I used that app was about four months ago. It was okay, it did the job, but sometimes would fuck up and you weren't able to multitask while using the app, otherwise you would have to reboot the Tor connection. Like I said though, that was four months ago. The developer has updated it, so I'm not sure how much better (or worse) it is.

You could just use the .to proxy, but I wouldn't use it for anything more than browsing on a throw away account. According to the SR forums, it's not a secure proxy at all.
