    Strange wording. But I'm glad it will run on my old Win95.
    I've been trying to find a current browser for that for over
    two decades now. :)

    I'm not sure why this is posted only to the Android newsgroup, but since it
    is posted only to Android (& not to Windows or mac), I am not aware that,
    for Android, that the Tor Browser isn't supported. As far as I know, it is.

    Furthermore, since we're on the topic of device Tor support, it is my understanding that only on iOS is the Tor browser privacy never supported.

    <https://support.torproject.org/tormobile/tormobile-3/>
    "Can I run Tor Browser on an iOS device? Apple requires all
    browsers on iOS to use something called Webkit,
    which prevents any iOS browser from having the same privacy
    protections as Tor Browser."

    You have to admit it's ironic that Apple advertises privacy, and yet the
    only common operating system that can't have any of that privacy, is iOS.

    As people have said, advertising vs reality are two very different things.
