Tor Messenger is built on Instantbird, the Mozilla's instant messaging client, and can be run on versions of Windows, Mac, or Linux. The main feature it lacked was OTR support, which we have implemented and hope to upstream to the main Instantbird repository for the benefit of all Instantbird (and Thunderbird) users." continues the post.

It also has an active and vibrant software developer community that has been very responsive and understanding of our needs.
#IMPOSIBLE USAR TOR MESSENGER CODE#
"Instantbird was the pragmatic choice - its transport protocols are written in a memory-safe language (JavaScript) it has a graphical user interface and already supports many natural languages and it's a XUL application, which means we can leverage both the code (Tor Launcher) and in-house expertise that the Tor Project has developed working on Tor Browser with Firefox. The experts at Tor Project explained that that have considered a number of messaging clients for inspiration during the design phase, including Pidgin, Adam Langley's xmpp-client, and Instantbird. It supports a wide variety of transport networks, including Jabber (XMPP), IRC, Google Talk, Facebook Chat, Twitter, Yahoo, and others enables Off-the-Record (OTR) Messaging automatically and has an easy-to-use graphical user interface localized into multiple languages." states the post published by the Tor Project. "Tor Messenger is a cross-platform chat program that aims to be secure by default and sends all of its traffic over Tor. The mechanism is similar to the one adopted to protect user Internet activities, the traffic is routed through the Tor Network making impossible to intercept it. Tor Messenger integrates the " Off-the-Record" (OTR) Messaging that allows private conversations over instant messaging by encrypting messages and then routing them over the Tor network. The experts at the Tor Project explained that the newborn Tor Messenger app encrypts the content of instant messages, making impossible eavesdropping of conversation and identifying the interlocutors. The messenger has been designed with privacy by design, but with a great care for its usability.
It's official, the Tor Project has launched the first beta version of Tor Messenger, an open source and Encrypted instant messaging client that relies on Tor network.
Today the TorProject has released a new beta version of Tor Messenger, based on Instantbird, an instant messaging client developed in the Mozilla community.
