New Release: Tor Browser 10.0a9 (Android Only)

Android Tor Browser 10.0a9 is now available from the Tor Browser Alpha download page and also from our distribution directory.

Note: This is an alpha release, an experimental version for users who want to help us test new features. For everyone else, we recommend downloading the latest stable release instead.

We are happy to announce the second alpha version for Android users based on Fenix 82.

Tor Browser 10.0a9 ships with Fenix 82.1.1 (see Mozilla's blog post for more information about this new browser). As this is the second alpha version based on Fenix we expect more bugs than usual. Please report them (with steps to reproduce), either here or on Gitlab, or essentially with any other means that would reach us. We are in particular interested in potential proxy bypasses which our proxy audit missed. This version is expected to be the last alpha release before Tor Browser 10.0 is considered stable on Android.
