TBB is only built on aarch64 for Android and Mac OS.

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.

yes, is it that torbrowser downloads and runs the win32 or 64 exe in a container?  can always install tor and run it as a regular socks proxy and toggle that in network, not as clean but properly configured should be good enough for nearly all threat profiles with the correct plugins to help with user agent, adblock, and privacy filtering.
