Tor messenger permanently disappears

Tor Messenger hit the market in 2015 and was advertised as a way to communicate securely and privately. Although the idea was good, especially in a world like today in which privacy is important, it has never finished gaining a niche in the market. Something that has caused in the end to end up closing its doors.

Tor Messenger definitely disappears

This was announced a few hours ago. The Tor Project initiative finally comes to an end, after the poor reception it has had in the market over the past years.

Tor Messenger says goodbye to users

From the beginning, they have encountered many obstacles that have hindered the project. Something that has not been reduced over time. It has gone so far that it seems that the best option has been to terminate this application. Since these problems in recent times could affect security. Something that would undoubtedly finish sinking Tor Messenger.

From the company they know that there are users who value their privacy, therefore, they have recommended users to use CoyIM as a substitute for the missing Tor Messenger. Since it is an option that protects the privacy of users and provides a similar service.

It is a shame that an option that was characterized by giving something different to users disappears. But Tor may make a comeback in the future, if the company manages to qualify for it. At the moment, we are saying goodbye to this option, at least temporarily.
