Tor Browser: a legacy of advancing private browsing innovation

I too would like to see extra hardening in terms of whatever can potentially strengthen the whole project. Tor has been promoted by Edward Snowden as the most secure low latency network but this was many years ago and plenty of incidents have occurred since then, such as the ongoing unknown purpose and potential of KAX17. Working on traffic obscurification to lessen the success of timing attacks would be useful and implementing post quantum cryptography is going to become absolutely essential in the near future. The encryption is good for now but in ten years or so it will all be opened, we need a way of letting people use the network but with either no information or false information in the starting block. People can hide entry IP with a VPN but those will be opened too. Fixing it sooner means they will have less usable information against people and for those who enter for the first time after implementation of post quantum they will never be exposed.
