In the Onion Browser's description is written that it is endorsed by the Tor Project, but the Onion Browser's website has no easy to find link to the Tor Project's website to prove it. For readers convenience I have added link to torproject.org where they can read about the Onion Browser from the Tor Project's perspective.
I know, this is not Wikipedia and we do not have to source everything, however, in the Firefox for iOS, there is already a link to Disconnect's website, just so readers can find out more about their Tracking protection lists. Being able to quickly verify that the Onion Browser is really officially endorsed by the Tor Project is arguably much more important, therefore the link should be included.
Other, more explicit, endorsement on torproject.org is in a small print under Android download page that says "Are you an iOS user? We encourage you to try Onion Browser.", however this one is much less visible, because of that I'm not using this link.
Description
Resolves: #none
This is not software suggestion, just a minor improvement for the description of the currently recommended software. I was not able to find anything in the Contributing Guidelines that suggest that I must create an issue before creating pull request for those.
