Tor began gaining popularity among activists and tech-savvy users interested
in privacy, but it was still difficult for less-technically savvy people to
use, so starting in 2005, development of tools beyond just the Tor proxy began.
Development of Tor Browser began in
[2008](https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2008-January/007837.html).
-With Tor Browser having made Tor more accessible to everyday internet users
and activists, Tor was an instrumental tool during the [Arab
Spring](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/the-nsa-files) beginning in late
2010. It not only protected people's identity online but also allowed them to
access critical resources, social media, and websites which were blocked.

People's awareness of tracking, surveillance, and censorship may have
increased, but so has the prevalence of these hindrances to internet freedom.
Today, the network has [thousands of relays](https://metrics.torproject.org)
run by volunteers and millions of users worldwide. And it is this diversity
that keeps Tor users safe.
