The www/tor-browser port manually inserts the path to the net/tor port 
binary into the browser profile at build time. This is why it would be 
necessary to create a flavor of this port if we want to give users the 
option to choose which routing software to use. Both are supported by 
the Tor Project. In the future, the C implementation of the Tor routing 
software will likely be deprecated in favor of the Rust implementation.

On the other hand, it would be beneficial to try porting oniux to 
OpenBSD. However, I think this will be difficult since oniux uses Linux 
kernel namespaces.

I use both Arti and Oniux on Linux, and they work very well.
