Mozilla is starting an initiative called Polaris, together with other privacy-centric organizations. https://blog.mozilla.org/privacy/2014/11/10/introducing-polaris-privacy-initiative-to-accelerate-user-focused-privacy-online/

Polaris does not refer to a single product or software program, but rather to an initiative dedicated to advancing user privacy across the internet. Components of the project include:

  • Working to stop tracking code.
  • TOR support.

This will include a number of Mozilla hosted TOR middle relays to boost the network. Here's the wiki with more details.

    Sounds like a trusted 3rd party to deliver only the trackable information that the end-user has authorized.
