1. Background on code/project/build |
| 4 |
BUILD- |
| 5 |
- The Orfox code is currently almost the exact replica of Fennec and the build instructions can be found at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Fennec/Android#Building_Fennec. Once successfully built, this source produces a folder named android_eclipse which is where the main Fennec Browser app code is present. |

2. Proposed Changes |
| 8 |
- The aim of Orfox is to match the specs of the tor browser bundle for the desktop. |
| 9 |
We plan on making it an almost exact replica of the desktop app in order to provide |
| 10 |
a similar user experience to people who have been using the desktop browser. |
| 11 |
This newly implemented browser would hopefully be a replacement application to |
| 12 |
the current Orweb app that we have. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
We will match the Tor Browser design and re-use code/patches when at all possible: |
