As you pointed out, this project is no longer being actively maintained. While someone on the Tor Browser development team can answer more thoroughly, my understanding is that the original maintainer moved on from working on this project. The Tor development teams are quite small, so (like many open source projects) there are more projects than people to support them. > Is there a hidden agenda to allow LEA/governments to exploit Tor > Browser users easily?

If you have more concerns or questions feel free to have a conversation with someone working on Tor directly- we are active on irc: https://www.torproject.org/about/contact.html.en#irc > So please, make Sandboxed Tor Browser an official thing. We definitely welcome community-supported projects. If you or anyone you know wants to contribute to this project. let us know.
