                <p>In 2019, mainstream coverage of privacy wins and challenges 
increased, and with that, so did coverage of the Tor Project. We are proud of 
what we accomplished last year and proud that our work advancing human rights 
to privacy and freedom online has caught the attention of outlets such as BBC, 
WIRED, Deutsche Welle, and NPR. Not only did they write about us, but some of 
these big names also began using and promoting our tools.</p>
+
+                                                                               
                <p>We&rsquo;ve broken down 2019 coverage into sections: 
Tor&rsquo;s Reach and Accessibility, Anti-Censorship, Onion Adoption, Ecosystem 
Impact, Cryptocurrency, and Advocacy. Check out the more <a 
href="https://blog.torproject.org/tor-media-2019";>comprehensive list of 
coverage</a>.</p>

                <h2>Tor&rsquo;s Reach and Accessibility</h2>
+
+                                                                               
                <p>Inspired by major advancements in Tor Browser&rsquo;s 
design, integration of Tor tabs in Brave browser, and the alpha release of Tor 
Browser for Android, Lily Hay Newman at <a 
href="https://www.wired.com/story/tor-anonymity-easier-than-ever/";>Wired 
declared</a> 2019 the year to try Tor.</p>
+
+                                                                               
                <blockquote>
+                                                                               
                <p>&ldquo;In truth, Tor has been relatively accessible for 
years now, largely because of the Tor Browser, which works almost exactly like 
a regular browser and does all the complicated stuff for you in the background. 
But in 2018 a slew of new offerings and integrations vastly expanded the 
available tools, making 2019 the year to finally try Tor. You may even end up 
using the network without realizing it.&rdquo;</p>
+                                                                               
                </blockquote>
+
+                                                                               
                <p>As people become more aware of how tech giants exploit their 
information, Tor was also cited as <a 
href="https://www.fastcompany.com/90316917/the-paranoid-persons-guide-to-online-privacy";>privacy-first
 alternative to Chrome</a>.</p>
+
+                                                                               
                <p>As part of our goal to make Tor available to everyone online 
who needs it, we knew we needed to meet people where they are using the 
internet: on their mobile devices. In 2019, we made it &ldquo;easier than 
ever&rdquo; for people to use Tor by making it available on Android, and this 
development was written about by several publications.</p>
+
+                                                                               
                <h2>Anti-Censorship</h2>
+
+                                                                               
                <p>In addition to improved accessibility and privacy 
protections, our anti-censorship work made headlines. OONI, a project under 
Tor, was recognized for its contributions to <a 
href="https://www.cnet.com/features/the-watchdogs-tracking-secret-online-censorship-across-the-globe-ooni/";>documenting
 evidence of internet censorship</a> worldwide.</p>
+
+                                                                               
                <p>Several outlets promoted <a 
href="https://snowflake.torproject.org/";>Snowflake</a>, an extension we 
released, now in an experimental stage, which empowers users of those browsers 
to help Tor users circumvent censorship.</p>
+
+                                                                               
                <h2>Onion Adoption</h2>
+
+                                                                               
                <p>To help users in censored countries reach their content, <a 
href="https://www.npr.org/2019/10/24/773060596/bbc-launches-tor-mirror-site-to-thwart-media-censorship";>BBC</a>,
 <a 
href="https://www.dw.com/pt-br/sites-da-deutsche-welle-agora-acess%C3%ADveis-através-do-protocolo-tor/a-51340347";>Deutsche
 Welle</a>, and Mada Masr have joined ProPublica, The New York Times, and 
BuzzFeed News to set up onion addresses using Tor onion services. In addition 
to those outlets promoting their onion mirrors, other news sites also picked up 
on the BBC announcement. Due to the enhanced privacy and security properties 
onion addresses provide, in addition to their ability to help censored users 
bypass blocks, we expect this trend to continue. We will be focusing on scaling 
to meet this demand in 2020.</p>
+
+                                                                               
                <h2>Ecosystem</h2>
+
+                                                                               
                <p>Not all Tor benefits come from directly connecting to the 
network, using Tor Browser, or implementing onion services. Our innovations and 
techniques also help to <a 
href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/firefox-to-add-tor-browser-anti-fingerprinting-technique-called-letterboxing/";>raise
 the bar for privacy and security in other technologies</a> and were written 
about for doing so. Firefox users now benefit from our security and privacy 
features, including an anti-fingerprint technique called 
&quot;letterboxing.&quot; Mozilla is also exploring using Tor for a 
&lsquo;Super Private Browsing&rsquo; mode. In 2019, <a 
href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/mozilla-offers-research-grant-for-a-way-to-embed-tor-inside-firefox/";>Mozilla
 announced a research grant</a> regarding Tor integration to Firefox. Currently 
the Firefox team is exploring testing a prototype using an <a 
href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/mozilla-firefox-tor-mode-likely-to-start-as-a-browser-ad
 don/">add-on integration</a>.</p>
+
+                                                                               
                <h2>Cryptocurrency</h2>
+
+                                                                               
                <p>This year, we were a trailblazing nonprofit organization 
regarding our acceptance of cryptocurrency donations. Many people in the 
cryptocurrency community share Tor&#39;s values of privacy and freedom online 
and <a 
href="https://www.coindesk.com/tor-project-takes-cryptos-after-donors-request-new-options";>expressed
 excitement</a> about contributing to Tor through a variety of new 
cryptocurrencies. As one of the first nonprofits to accept cryptocurrencies on 
such a wide scale, we also <a 
href="https://www.dailydot.com/layer8/cryptocurrency-philanthropy-charity-bitcoin/";>set
 an example</a> for other organizations to follow.</p>
+
+                                                                               
                <h2>Advocacy</h2>
+
+                                                                               
                <p>Our mission extends beyond developing tools that advance the 
human rights to privacy and freedom online; we also advocate for their use and 
other relevant critical issues necessary for a world where Tor thrives. We are 
proud to have joined in several campaigns in 2019 to uphold our values and 
speak out against dangerous demands to <a 
href="https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/ne8q3w/36-civil-rights-groups-demand-end-to-amazons-partnerships-with-police";>weaken
 encryption</a> and <a

 surveillance</a>.</p>
+
+                                                                               
                <p>2019 was a big year in the news for Tor, and as the demand 
for privacy online increases, we expect the stories to continue in 2020 as we 
focus on promoting our tools as the backbone of an internet that puts privacy 
first, by design.</p>

                <p>When ISPs or governments block access to the Tor network, 
our users rely on <a 
href="https://community.torproject.org/relay/types-of-relays/";>bridges</a> to 
connect. With <a href="https://bridges.torproject.org";>BridgeDB</a>, we tackle 
the problem of how to get bridges to censored users while making it difficult 
for censors to get all bridges. We recently released BridgeDB version 0.9.3, 
which comes with bug fixes and new features. <a

+## Tor in the Media: 2019 ##
+
+https://blog.torproject.org/tor-media-2019
+
+In 2019, mainstream coverage of privacy wins and challenges increased, and 
with that, so did coverage of the Tor Project. We are proud of what we 
accomplished last year and proud that our work advancing human rights to 
privacy and freedom online has caught the attention of outlets such as BBC, 
WIRED, Deutsche Welle, and NPR. Not only did they write about us, but some of 
these big names also began using and promoting our tools.
+
+We’ve broken down 2019 coverage into sections: Tor’s Reach and 
Accessibility, Anti-Censorship, Onion Adoption, Ecosystem Impact, 
Cryptocurrency, and Advocacy. Check out the more comprehensive list of coverage.
+
+## Tor’s Reach and Accessibility
+
+Inspired by major advancements in Tor Browser’s design, integration of Tor 
tabs in Brave browser, and the alpha release of Tor Browser for Android, Lily 
Hay Newman at Wired declared 2019 the year to try Tor.
+
+    "In truth, Tor has been relatively accessible for years now, largely 
because of the Tor Browser, which works almost exactly like a regular browser 
and does all the complicated stuff for you in the background. But in 2018 a 
slew of new offerings and integrations vastly expanded the available tools, 
making 2019 the year to finally try Tor. You may even end up using the network 
without realizing it."
+
+As people become more aware of how tech giants exploit their information, Tor 
was also cited as privacy-first alternative to Chrome.
+
+As part of our goal to make Tor available to everyone online who needs it, we 
knew we needed to meet people where they are using the internet: on their 
mobile devices. In 2019, we made it "easier than ever" for people to use Tor by 
making it available on Android, and this development was written about by 
several publications.
+
+##Anti-Censorship
+
+In addition to improved accessibility and privacy protections, our 
anti-censorship work made headlines. OONI, a project under Tor, was recognized 
for its contributions to documenting evidence of internet censorship worldwide.
+
+Several outlets promoted Snowflake, an extension we released, now in an 
experimental stage, which empowers users of those browsers to help Tor users 
circumvent censorship.
+
+##Onion Adoption
+
+To help users in censored countries reach their content, BBC, Deutsche Welle, 
and Mada Masr have joined ProPublica, The New York Times, and BuzzFeed News to 
set up onion addresses using Tor onion services. In addition to those outlets 
promoting their onion mirrors, other news sites also picked up on the BBC 
announcement. Due to the enhanced privacy and security properties onion 
addresses provide, in addition to their ability to help censored users bypass 
blocks, we expect this trend to continue. We will be focusing on scaling to 
meet this demand in 2020.
+
+##Ecosystem
+
+Not all Tor benefits come from directly connecting to the network, using Tor 
Browser, or implementing onion services. Our innovations and techniques also 
help to raise the bar for privacy and security in other technologies and were 
written about for doing so. Firefox users now benefit from our security and 
privacy features, including an anti-fingerprint technique called 
"letterboxing." Mozilla is also exploring using Tor for a ‘Super Private 
Browsing’ mode. In 2019, Mozilla announced a research grant regarding Tor 
integration to Firefox. Currently the Firefox team is exploring testing a 
prototype using an add-on integration.
+
+##Cryptocurrency
+
+This year, we were a trailblazing nonprofit organization regarding our 
acceptance of cryptocurrency donations. Many people in the cryptocurrency 
community share Tor's values of privacy and freedom online and expressed 
excitement about contributing to Tor through a variety of new cryptocurrencies. 
As one of the first nonprofits to accept cryptocurrencies on such a wide scale, 
we also set an example for other organizations to follow.
+
+##Advocacy
+
+Our mission extends beyond developing tools that advance the human rights to 
privacy and freedom online; we also advocate for their use and other relevant 
critical issues necessary for a world where Tor thrives. We are proud to have 
joined in several campaigns in 2019 to uphold our values and speak out against 
dangerous demands to weaken encryption and increase surveillance.
+
+2019 was a big year in the news for Tor, and as the demand for privacy online 
increases, we expect the stories to continue in 2020 as we focus on promoting 
our tools as the backbone of an internet that puts privacy first, by design.

+
+## We're Hiring an Executive Assistant ##
+
+https://www.torproject.org/about/jobs/executive-assistant/
+
+The Executive Assistant is responsible for providing high-level administrative 
support to the Executive Director. This position will actively manage the 
ED’s schedule, handle internal and external executive-level communications, 
and coordinate special projects and events. This position is full-time and 
remote; someone in the Eastern time zone strongly preferred.
+
+## Tor Village at IFF: Call for Proposals ##
+
+During this year's Internet Freedom Festival (IFF), we're organizing a village 
with activities on privacy, anonymity, and anti-censorship based around Tor. 
IFF will take place from April 20 - 24 2020 in Valencia, Spain, and the Tor 
Village will take place on the last two days, April 23 and 24. Proposals can be 
made in English or Spanish. Proposals should be sent by March 10th at 23:59 UTC 
to [email protected]. Proposals sent after the deadline or by other means 
will not be accepted.
+
+Check out some activity ideas and how to submit:

+
+## New Releases ##
+
+BridgeDB 0.9.3
+
+https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-bridgedb-093
+
+When ISPs or governments block access to the Tor network, our users rely on 
bridges to connect. With BridgeDB, we tackle the problem of how to get bridges 
to censored users while making it difficult for censors to get all bridges. We 
recently released BridgeDB version 0.9.3, which comes with bug fixes and new 
features.
+
+Tor Browser 9.5a5
+
+https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-95a5
+
+This release updates Firefox to 68.5.0esr, NoScript to 11.0.13, and on 
desktop, Tor to 0.4.3.2-alpha. We also added a new default bridge.
+
+Tor Browser 9.0.5
+
+https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-905
+
+This release updates Firefox to 68.5.0esr, NoScript to 11.0.13, and on 
desktop, Tor to 0.4.2.6. We also added a new default bridge and backported a 
few improvements from the alpha series.
+
+Tor 0.4.3.2-alpha
+
+https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-0432-alpha
+
+This is the second stable alpha release in the Tor 0.4.3.x series. It fixes 
several bugs present in the previous alpha release. Anybody running the 
previous alpha should upgrade and look for bugs in this one instead.
