For anyone who is using Tor and needs Stack Overflow knowledge while they're doing such mitigation, Kiwix [1], best known for allowing to read wikipedia offline, also provides dumps of Stack Overflow that you can download and browse locally [2]. It's massive, though (134gb).

What is up with the privacy policy and data usage? The app store information says this:

--- App Privacy

The developer, Wikimedia CH, has not provided details about its privacy practices and handling of data to Apple. For more information, see the developer’s privacy policy.

... then you click the link for "developer's privacy policy" and it goes to a 404 at http://www.kiwix.org/impressum/

... then you go find the privacy policy on the website at https://www.kiwix.org/en/legal/privacy-policy/ and it says:

"This privacy policy applies to the website www.kiwix.org only. It does not cover our subsites like wiki.kiwix.org or download.kiwix.org."

You use Kiwix offline. You download a Kiwix database of the content you wish for.

If you can get the app and the database on tor, then you're golden.

Hm. But the privacy i was interested in was the privacy during app usage... What data is Wikimedia CH collecting about me and why won't they say?
