We are still auditing all disk write code, and determining how to appropriately disable or harden it. Orfox currently allows for users to bookmark sites, and may have additional data written to disk beyond what the core gecko browser component does. Orfox does not currently include the mobile versions of the Tor Browser * Button, but this we will be added shortly, now that we have discovered how to properly support automatic installation of extensions on Android ( ) Orfox is built from the Tor Browser repo based on ESR38 ( ) and has only two modified patches that were not relevant or necessary for Android We will keep our repository in sync with updates and release of Tor Browser.

How is Orfox different than Tor Browser for desktop?.The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked.

In as many ways as possible, we adhere to the design goals of Tor Browser ( ), by supporting as much of their actual code as possible, and extending their work into the additional Android components of Firefox for Android. Orfox REQUIRES Orbot app for Android to connect to the Tor network. Orfox is built from the same source code as Tor Browser (which is built upon Firefox), but with a few minor modifications to the privacy enhancing features to make them compatible with Firefox for Android and the Android operating system.
