First Official Version of Tor Browser for Android Released on Play Store

'The Tor Project today made the first stable version of its
privacy-focused browser available on the Google Play Store. From a
report:

This new mobile browser integrates the Tor protocol stack into a
standalone browser and replaces Orfox as the main way to navigate the
Tor network from an Android device. Tor Project developers have been
working on this browser for eight months now, since September 2018,
when they first released an alpha version for public testing. "We made
it a priority to reach the rising number of users who only browse the
web with a mobile device," said Isabela Bagueros, Executive Director
of the Tor Project. "These users often face heavy surveillance and
censorship online, so it is critical for us to reach them. We made
sure there are no proxy bypasses, that first-party isolation is
enabled to protect you from cross-site tracking, and that most of the
fingerprinting defenses are working," the Tor team added.'
