Tor won the 2012 Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) Pioneer Award.

(boklm is one of the Tor Browser developers, and would know this to be true).
Use Tor Browser for Android to browse the web.īut what about Orbot and Orfox? What are those? Are they good? Are they maintained? Should they be used? And what about the Alpha version of Tor Browser for Android?
