The Tor Project has published a
review of major milestones from 2024, including merging with
the Tails project, work to enable human-friendly .onion
addresses, and the launch of WebTunnel:

By mimicking common internet protocols, WebTunnel improves the
resilience of the Tor network in regions with heavy censorship. And
since its launch earlier this year, we’ve made sure to prioritize
small download sizes for more convenient distribution and simplified
the support of uTLS integration further mimicking the characteristics
of more widespread browsers. This makes Webtunnel safe for general
users because it helps conceal the fact that a tool like Tor is being
used.
