Must complete:

  1. The first alpha should not be based on Firefox ESR but on the regular release channel which we tend to follow for the mobile Tor Browser
  2. We need to make sure there are no proxy bypasses possible
  3. We need good hints for our users that this is an alpha, possibly showing the missing features (UX team help)
  4. Rebrand Orfox -> Tor Browser

Must Do:

  1. What do we want to do with the updater/updating users in case we want to not only use Google's Play Store but have the browser available in F-Droid and on our website as well?
  2. Are the first-party-isolation and fingerprinting defenses on Android working if the respective preferences are flipped?

I guess this means we need an update strategy as well. Thus, lets add #26242 to the child ticket list, too.
