Fetch RSS feeds via Tor This patch replaces jsocks with our own minimal SOCKS 5 implementation, which is compatible with Android's OpenSSL hacks (see discussion on #599 for the horrifying details).

Briar is a messaging app designed for activists, journalists, and anyone else who needs a safe, easy and robust way to communicate. Unlike traditional messaging tools such as email, Twitter or Telegram, Briar doesn't rely on a central server - messages are synchronized directly between the users' devices. If the Internet's down, Briar can sync via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, keeping the information flowing in a crisis. If the Internet's up, Briar can sync via the Tor network, protecting users and their relationships from surveillance.
