This has been a solved problem since 2016: https://signal.org/blog/reproducible-android/

Given its open source nature that would be exceedingly difficult.

What are you talking about? Tor is still the uncontested king of low-latency anonymity networks.

Run a snowflake-proxy instance to help censored users access the Tor network (To be clear: no traffic exits from your IP, you're just relaying that traffic to a bridge that then connects to the Tor network): https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/snowflake/stand...

For more information on Snowflake check: https://snowflake.torproject.org/

BookMyName.com, just look at their interface! ;)

You still haven't made any clear case against them. Why even stick with v2 onions in the first place?

How was the deprecation of v2 onions in any form or shape "early"?

This is one of the main reasons why I keep using Tor daily. The more people use Tor for normal browsing, the less interesting it becomes to be a Tor user, the better the anonymity for everyone else.

You can use pluggable transports to camouflage your traffic (they're already built into the Tor Browser, e.g. snowflake, obfs4 ...).

Here's one that is "production" ready: the Mirage-Firewall microkernel built using MirageOS and running on Qubes OS.[0] In general MirageOS allows you to:

> ... construct unikernels for secure, high-performance network applications across a variety of cloud computing and mobile platforms. Code can be developed on a normal OS such as Linux or macOS, and then compiled into a fully-standalone, specialised unikernel that runs under a Xen or KVM hypervisor.[1]
