Torbrowser gone from Guardian Repo?
I have the Guardian repo enabled, not the archive. Is the Torbrowser gone? Does anyone know more about this?
I still have it installed, but when making a guide on setting up GrapheneOS, I realized Torbrowser was not there
Edit: It seems to have vanished from the Guardian repo?
Here is the Torproject repo with always the latest stable and alpha.
Here is the official fancy download site
Just for your info, this is the hash of the latest arm64 stable APK:
0512a00b30cff2fb5a158a11b8599f3b88fb8401
(I recommend Material files, has all sorts of checks integrated)
Aaand FFUpdater, which is normally only useful for downloading proprietary Browsers, can update it!

With a Guardian repo's Tor Browser package installed you can use FFUpdater to update, which pulls the torproject's .apk (currently 13.0) and later will keep it updated.
Thanks, thats a good workaround!
I just downloaded version 13 from the Tor Project website. However, I think they will eventually make their own repo.
Oh interesting, its officially supported now?
I hope they deblob it, like Fennec and Mull.
Weirdly, I also found a version on the izzyondroid website that for some reason has all APKs from all repos?
And it said to "not be compatible with my device", running Android 13 on arm64? I dont get how that could not be compatible?
If in F-Droid, maybe scroll down a little? There are 4 different ABI builds for each release. Anyway, those are the old 12.5.6 based on 102.2.1esr.
It lists the packages, doesn't have them..
I searched all of F-Droid. Weird that it didnt show the app at all, because some (outdated) versions are still there?
You should get it from the nation fdroid repo. Guardian hasn't been doing tor browser for a while
What is that? Never heard of it, its on no List, checked it, literally on no list
Sorry, auto complete failure... I meant to type 'normal'
There is no Tor Browser package in the "normal" main repo.
Its not on main f-droid for some reason.
Here's the guardian project repo https://guardianproject.info/fdroid/repo?fingerprint=b7c2eefd8dac7806af67dfcd92eb18126bc08312a7f2d6f3862e46013c7a6135 Check in fdroid settings how you flagged "show available updates", "show incompatible versions", & "include anti-feature apps". Also make sure to update repositories. FYI - I show "Tor Browser for Android" from the Tor Project Ver 102.2.1-Release(12.5.6) 9/29/23.
Thanks, checking all checkboxes under "anti-features" showed it again, but still not the latest version
You are right, it's only in the calyxos repo
I have Tor from the Guardian Official repo and the last update it got was 12.5.6 on 9/30/23.
Weiird. Its not shown to me. Activating the archive just have me 8 years old apps
I tried sharing the Droid-ify link but it said "page not found" strange.
So its meant to be in the Guardian repo, but its not showing up. I edited the post

Try this
Yes izzyondroid has a similar website. But the versions are outdated. I edited my post, you can get the latest version from the torproject website or FFUpdater
