There’s never been an official Tor Browser on mobile. Until now.
Introducing Tor Browser for Android (alpha), the mobile browser with the highest privacy protections ever available and on par with Tor Browser for desktop. The stable release is slated for early 2019.
Tor 0.3.4.7-rc fixes several small compilation, portability, and correctness issues in previous versions of Tor. This version is a release candidate: if no serious bugs are found, we expect that the stable 0.3.4 release will be (almost) the same as this release.
The Linux Users’ Group of Durgapur is holding our next monthly privacy meetup in Pune, India. We'll focus on discussing privacy issues, tools, and technologies in the field, including Tor.
We're holding a follow-up meetup to continue our discussions from our last meetup in July. If you want to learn more about Tor or running a relay, we'll be available to help with that, too.
We’re grateful to have the support of a dedicated volunteer base who help us to make Tor the strongest privacy tool out there, and we’re highlighting their work in this series. We want to thank Sina Rabbani, one of the co-founders (and former CTO) of Access Now, a nonprofit dedicated to defending users’ digital rights, for his years of support to Tor and to the internet freedom movement.
There's a new alpha release available for download. If you build Tor from source, you can download the source code for Tor 0.3.4.6-rc from the download page on the website. Packages should be available over the coming weeks, with a new alpha Tor Browser release by some time next month.
Remember, this is an alpha release: you should only run this if you'd like to find and report more bugs than usual.

Changes in version 0.3.4.6-rc - 2018-08-06
Major bugfixes (event scheduler):
When we enable a periodic event, schedule it in the event loop rather than running it immediately. Previously, we would re-run periodic events immediately in the middle of (for example) changing our options, with unpredictable effects. Fixes bug 27003; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
Minor features (compilation):
When building Tor, prefer to use Python 3 over Python 2, and more recent (contemplated) versions over older ones. Closes ticket 26372.
