#Orbot lies brazenly to the user


Source: guardianproject.info/apps/org.…

Orbot is a very useful app for using the #TOR #network on #Android. With all due respect to floss and the achievements of the altruistic developers, I still think it's downright cheeky to lie so blatantly to the user.

The bridge functionality, which can be optionally activated, allows users from the censored Internet, where all TOR servers are blocked, to connect anyway.

Orbot is writing:

It will not drain your battery


This is wrong. There will be more background activity for this connections and this will cost battery power. This is a damn lie!

It will not slow down your internet


This is wrong. There will be connections from others and they will slow down your internet. With a big bandwidth you won't note it but not everyone have high speed internet. This is a damm lie!

🤥
