Full desktop Surfing and Absolute Privacy on the pinephone?
#5
Debian just has a script to download Tor Browser Bundle.
https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/tor...r-launcher

TBB is only built on aarch64 for Android and Mac OS.
https://www.torproject.org/download/tor/

So you'd have to use Waydroid or something to run Android apps on the PinePhone, and I don't think it has enough RAM to do that comfortably with a Firefox derivative

For the desktop, holind (Heikki Lindholm, formerly holindho@cs.helsinki.fi) used to do an unofficial tor browser build for arm64.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/tor-bro...rts/files/

But it hasn't been updated since 13.0.9 in 2024 February. Tor Browser on x86 is up to 14.5.4. So you won't have a great anonymity set, and the browser will be out of date.

It's a genuine problem. Holind just disappeared, their personal web site is gone too, and nobody picked it up. For over a year, Linux arm64 has been without any up-to-date Tor browser.
