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.

    Do you have any links on your claims? I want to trust mozilla, for al it has done in the past, but day by day it's just eroding.
