Two years ago we started a project to bring a VPN-like app that connects to the Tor network for Android users.
We know that many of the sites and services a user connects to via browser on desktop become an app when they are using the internet on mobile.
It is important for us to address this use case as the majority of people around the world only use a mobile device to connect to the internet, especially those in the Global South and at risk situations.
Offering a browser that connects to the internet with a trusted VPN as opposed to the Tor network is an important step in offering more alternatives when it comes to free privacy-focused browsers and can benefit Tor Browser in the future when our 'VPN-like' app has launched.
