 Tor began gaining popularity among activists and tech-savvy users interested in privacy, but it was still difficult for less-technically savvy people to use, so starting in 2005, development of tools beyond just the Tor proxy began.
 Development of Tor Browser began in [2008](https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2008-January/007837.html).

 People's awareness of tracking, surveillance, and censorship may have increased, but so has the prevalence of these hindrances to internet freedom.
