TOR Implementation

[Soymilkrice]

Brave, but better.

[uazo]

I do not understand.

Why tor, why are you asking? A little effort please.

[Soymilkrice]

More freedom and privacy!

Something like Privacy browser.
You will have option of setting proxy to Tor after U on it from Orbot or invizible pro.
Will love to see something like that.

Built-in Tor is a good thing.
Let the user choose whether to access the site directly or through the TOR.

Still needs to be done.

Prevent from leaking local IP addresses.
Prevent local time and tor export time from differing.
delete JavaScript Dangerous Functions.

Prevent from leaking local IP addresses.

• Browser Does Not Leak IP Through WebRTC

Prevent local time and tor export time from differing.

• Vytal - Spoof Timezone extension

delete JavaScript Dangerous Functions.

• GNU LibreJS extension is only available for Firefox.

only need to port the GNU LibreJS extension cromite to integrate Tor Expert Bundle👍

Brave, other than fingerprinting and script blocking, I don't see any other features, and with Android they have absolutely no plans to build in Tor.

cromite Built-in Tor Pluggable Transports, Snowflake WebTunnel and i2pd

Tor Expert Bundle" for the purpose of bundling together inside other apps.

Tor Expert Bundle
The tor expert bundle contains the tor and pluggable transports binaries, bridge strings, and geoip data used in Tor Browser. The two versions shown indicate the version of Tor Browser these particular binaries were built for and the version of the contained tor daemon. These packages are intended for developers who need to bundle tor with their applications.

I think Tor is optional.
cromite has a button to enable or disable Tor.

i disagree if TOR Implemented and here's the reason:

1. Cromite goal isn't anonimity but rather improved privacy or security
   (@uazo pls correct me if i wrong 🙏)
2. TOR can break user experience or website
3. TOR will slowdown your browser

so i recommend using TOR Browser for such case it's available both android and pc

also for reference:

1. Privacy And Anonymity the difference
2. Privacy Limitations - Suggest you to use TOR Browser Instead

It won't break.
It's like Brave PC New private window with Tor.
It should be optional to use Tor or not, He should have an enable or disable Tor button.

i have come to the conclusion that there can't be real privacy without anonymity

some website refuse to open if you using TOR and TOR is slowing down your network
that's called something break
(or hassle)

privacy, security and anonymity are sides of the same coin.
even if most don't think so, they are also targets of chromium team, who do it better than I do.
What cromite does is to make choices between possibilities that the chromium code allows and that the chromium team does not take because it weighs its choices differently.
for now I am making these choices, but it is not quite right and I am thinking of a method to make them easier to understand and discuss.

with regard to tor, the issue is that the ip of the device is the first source for tracking.
masking it would be a really important goal.

I would, however, like a different solution, for instance a common proxy that conveys navigation over a vpn.
But I have not yet found a vpn service that can be used and integrated into cromite.

[GreenMystic]

ow i see thanks for correction 🙏

The most advanced universal VPN Proxy is XRay or Mieru

Adding Tor to browsers that are not THE Tor browser or based on Tor browser is NOT A GOOD IDEA.

Web browsing on Tor provides anonymity, thanks to the fact every one uses the exact same environment.

If you use Tor on Brave, Tor on Firefox, Tor on anything other than the Tor browser, you are easily identifiable and trackable.
Even using extensions in Tor browser is a major risk of breaking your anonymity.

Adding Tor to Cromite is counterproductive, unless the Tor Project declares Cromite to be the new Tor browser.
In this scenario, just use a VPN. And there is no need to integrate it inside the browser either.

I use Tor as a proxy VPN, it works great for watching 4K YouTube😆

Cromite (Android) already allows to use Tor via Orbot by specifying it as a proxy (SOCKS5/HTTPS) and configure exceptions. Though author doesn't recommend to rely on Android's implementation for proper coverage, it's still an option for those who're limited to Android.
Do you by chance know How does it differ from the "inbuilt Tor approach"?

the remaining issues is why dns option is greyed out in all my browser?

I confirm, I think so too.
it will only be possible to use cromite in tor network after successfully closing #1271
