39 – Playstation 5 Rumors and Tor for Android
First Official Version of Tor Browser for Android Released on Play Store
* The Tor Project today made the first stable version of its privacy-focused browser available on the Google Play Store. * This new mobile browser integrates the Tor protocol stack into a standalone browser and replaces Orfox as the main way to navigate the Tor network from an Android device. * “We made it a priority to reach the rising number of users who only browse the web with a mobile device,” said Isabela Bagueros, Executive Director of the Tor Project. “These users often face heavy surveillance and censorship online, so it is critical for us to reach them. 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,”* There is no official Tor Browser version for iOS, but the Tor Project recommends that iOS users install Mike Tigas’ Onion Browser iOS app if they want to use Tor on iOS.
BLOCK TRACKERS
* Tor Browser isolates each website you visit so third-party trackers and ads can’t follow you. Any cookies automatically clear when you’re done browsing.
DEFEND AGAINST SURVEILLANCE
* Tor Browser prevents someone watching your connection from knowing what websites you visit. All anyone monitoring your browsing habits can see is that you’re using Tor.
RESIST FINGERPRINTING
* Tor aims to make all users look the same, making it difficult for you to be fingerprinted based on your browser and device information.
MULTI-LAYERED ENCRYPTION
* When you use Tor Browser for Android, your traffic is relayed and encrypted three times as it passes over the Tor network. The network is comprised of thousands of volunteer-run servers known as Tor relays. Watch this animation to learn more about how it works:
BROWSE FREELY
* With Tor Browser for Android, you are free to access sites your local internet service provider may have blocked. Access deep web. (Smart to use NordVPN as well)
Huawei Banned from Google – What does this mean??
* President Trump issued a “Blacklist Order” last week.* Google is reportedly ceasing all business with Huawei entirely.* Future Huawei phones will not have access to Google services.* No Android, no play store, no apps (Gmail, Chrome, Docs…).* Cannot use the AOSP (Android Open Source Project).* No technical support or collaboration.* On Sunday Google confirmed that the Play Store, Play Protect and other services will keep functioning on Huawei devices. * Huawei has previously mentioned that it has an operating system in the works. * The US Department of Justice has given Huawei a 90 day grace period before American companies must stop supporting or supplying components. * There are a lot of companies that rely on Huawei equipment (specifically, Telecom, internet and WiFi). * States like Oregon and Wyoming have invested in Huawei and will need to swap it out in 90 days.
