+
+ <p style="line-height:1.38">As many friends and followers of Tor know by now, we spend the final weeks of each year <a href="https://torproject.org/donate/donate-usetor-tn1">asking for your help as part of our year-end fundraising campaign</a>. This year hasn't been a normal year at all, not for Tor and not for the rest of the world.</p>
+
+ <p>For our 2020 campaign, we wanted a theme that conveys a positive message and speaks to the power of community action. That’s why we decided on the theme <strong>Use a Mask, Use Tor.</strong></p>
+
+ <p>To put it simply, using a mask keeps yourself and your communities safe in person. Using Tor keeps yourself and your communities safe online. Both tools help to conceal your identity, can break systems of surveillance, and their widespread use can promote the health of communities while undermining the power of systems bent on dividing us. Using a mask and using Tor helps us stand in solidarity with one another.</p>
+
+ <p>Use a mask, use Tor. And now, use your Tor mask! <a href="https://torproject.org/donate/donate-usetor-tn1">Make a donation of $50 and receive a limited-edition Tor mask</a>.</p>

+
+ <p style="line-height:1.38"><a href="https://torproject.org/donate/donate-usetor-tn1">Every donation</a> made from now through the end of 2020 will count towards our year-end campaign.<strong> </strong>Be on the lookout for events, giveaways, and new merch available from now until December 31. <a href="https://blog.torproject.org/use-a-mask-use-tor">Read more about the campaign on our blog</a>.</p>

+
+ <p id="magicdomid4">Maintaining a browser like Tor Browser has its challenges but also its rewards. It allows us to reach faster adoption of important technologies like onion services, providing a more secure browsing experience for all Tor users. Improving the treatment of onion services on the browser side, however, comes with its own challenges both for users and service providers and it is important to reflect on those as a requirement for future growth.</p>
+
+ <p>Thus, we feel it is time to take stock and outline the steps we have taken over the years to improve the user experience and adoption of onion services, our challenges, and what the future holds. <a href="https://blog.torproject.org/tor-brower-onion-services-challenges-opportunities">Check out our blog post</a> for what's next for Tor Browser and onion services.</p>
