+
+ <p>Since we released the <a href="https://blog.torproject.org/new-alpha-release-tor-browser-android";>first alpha version of Tor Browser for Android in September</a>, we've been hard at work making sure we can provide the protections users already enjoying on desktop to the Android platform. Mobile browsing is <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/nov/02/mobile-web-browsing-desktop-smartphones-tablets";>increasing</a> around the world, and in some parts, it is commonly the only way people access the internet. In these same areas, there is often heavy surveillance and censorship online, so we made it a priority to reach these users with a mobile Tor Browser release. The stable version of Tor Browser for Android is now available for download from <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.torproject.torbrowser";>Google Play</a>, <a href="https://www.f-droid.org/";>F-Droid</a>, and <a href="https://torproject.org";>our website</a>.</p>
+
+ <p>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. While there are still <a href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/query?status=accepted&status=assigned&status=merge_ready&status=needs_information&status=needs_review&status=needs_revision&status=new&status=reopened&keywords=~tbb-parity&order=priority";>feature gaps</a> between the desktop and Android Tor Browser, we are confident that Tor Browser for Android provides essentially the same protections that can be found on desktop platforms. <strong>These protections are unmatched by any other browser.</strong></p>

+ <p>The latest version of Tor Browser across all platforms also features UX and branding improvements in line with developments begun last year with the release of <a href="https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-85";>Tor Browser 8</a>.</p>

Is it possible to improve Tor performance without changing protocols? Is it truly possible to deploy Tor at scale? And what would the full integration of Tor and Firefox look like?
