Since you can never know the person behind each relay, Tor can never be completely secure. While an exit node won't find your location or identity, it can spy on your activity. Therefore, when using Tor, you should be careful of visiting unsecured websites or using Tor Browser with plugins installed. When you use the former, your data gets protected by end-to-end encryption and is a lot faster than Tor. However, some VPN providers log your browsing history, making it easier for online surveillance to take place.
Tor Browser, on the other hand, is highly-secure and protects your browsing activity from all prying eyes. With the right settings and an additional VPN, using Tor Browser can offer excellent anonymity and privacy. Offering online privacy and a chance to avoid censorship, the security of the Tor Browser is unparalleled.
However, it does have its drawbacks, like its slow speed. Tor Browser is a powerful and effective tool that keeps your data secure and private. It allows Tor users to bypass censorship laws, advance freedom rights, and avoid surveillance by law enforcement officials.
The popular privacy technology is free and perfectly legal to download and use. While the browser has its limitations, it does protect user privacy and maintains anonymity. The volunteer-run project is highly-secure and offers services that allow users to take back their online freedom. We don't have any change log information yet for version 9.

I have noticed some versions below, that updating over the TorBrowser itself caused my antivirus Avast to report an infection. In that case i've deleted my old version and installed the new archive from the website - without any problems.
The last version without any founds was 7. The newest update will acted the same but this time in the new version 7. I think this is a false positive but what if it is not? TorBrowser Win7 32bit. This was found: Avast: firefox. Is that the official Tor Browser binary, downloaded from our website? It should be signed with a digital signature from us. And verifying the GPG signature should show that it is signed by our signing key. We use several different build machines to verify that we get bit-for-bit matching binaries before we release a new version which is a defense against compromising one build machine and infecting the resulting binaries with malware.
I can't tell if your complaining avast is right or not. But I have even seen my avast stop the download of the avast antivirus update file some time ago. I was stunned : The solution was to use the avast live updater on several machines in our classroom one after the other. Hi my friends. This issue probably has been existed since 7. Does anyone notice this? Now I have to switch back to 6. By the way, the high CPU usage doesn't all happen at once but will increase more and more as I scroll down the news feed.
I deliberately selected "never check for updates not recommended: security risk ". But it still updates to 7. After the "update", all browser extensions were gone and the startpage was an ordinary Mozilla Firefox one, leaving me with a stripped Tor Browser. I guess one way you could try to work around that is installing Tor Browser new again. We are working on it and hope to have it fixed soon. On a Mac should I not see the obfs4 bridge?
On My Mac I still see the bridge but it looks like it should of been removed according to the update "Bug Remove default obfs4 bridge riemann. Please fix: - start standalone tor; - start torbrowser; - all ok; - close standalone tor; - start standalone tor; - all ok, but tor circuit become hidden in torbutton.
Hi, is it normal that the tor circuit network to be so slow? How can I enable the function which re-establishes tabs of last session? I see it is grayed out. When turn on Tor Browser 7. Only Tor Browser does this not Firefox. The function for reestablishing tabs from a previous session is disabled grayed. How can I enable it? Is the AdBlock Plus bug being looked into at all?..
My filter subscriptions disappear after a Tor Browser restart. AdBlock Plus doesn't come with Tor Browser. You probably shouldn't expect it to work or be supported. I'd suggest making sure there's a trac. Keeping track of blog threads is not easy, and definitely not the right place for keeping track of potential bugs. Ok, but then why did you guys ask me substantive questions in the original thread instead of directing me to create a ticket straight away?..
This gave the impression that this the blog was also a valid avenue to discuss bugs. Often things can get solved without creating tickets in our bug tracker which is why I tried to get information that would help me reproducing your bug. But so far I don't see this behavior on any of my machines and you are the only one reporting it. Well, that's what I thought! And that's why I kept commenting and was surprised when my last comment had been left unanswered.
And here I am being told that comments are not a proper venue for bug reporting BTW, how do I get rid of the annoying warning not to maximize my window?..
I tried pressing the "Ok" button, I tried pressing the cross next to the "Ok" button, same result - warning reappears. I know with previous reinstalls the warning would disappear after a while. But how do I get the browser to understand I am serious about keeping my window maximized? So you want me to install Firefox ESR, right? Re 1 It takes 3. You can disable this early if you want by flipping the extensions. Thanks for testing again. Re 2 if you run the installer you choose the custom installation where you can specify a path for the ESR to be installed.
If you are starting with your old profile not sure if you have more than one then you can create a new one on about : profiles. After a restart you should get the option to choose between your main profile and the newly created testing one. The last update 7. The filter lists no longer disappear after a restart!
Aha, interesting! Thanks for reporting back. I'll close as a duplicate of because that one describes the most likely underlying issue.
One simply HAS to use an adblocker if not to block ads, then to block trackers if one were to attempt to browse safely and privately. So this issue HAS to affect a lot of other people. Or am I the only one??? I don't think I have some unique configuration, pretty run-of-the-mill stuff Tor Browser standalone without any adblocker is designed to give you privacy by design. There is no need for adding some filterlist-based extension. You might enjoy reading section 5. And even if you think adblockers and their ilk don't enhance one's privacy, how about security?
Bruce Schneier, to name just one. IIRC it was seen as a political statement. Regarding security: I guess those blockers are recommended to "normal" browser users not having a specially crafted browser available. For the security part we have the security slider included into Tor Browser. Ok, I guess you are mostly : right on privacy and security. However, suppose someone keeps the security slider on Low, for more convenient browsing. Wouldn't an adblocker still offer protection against, I don't know, stuff like malware being served in 1x1 transparent pixel ads?
But, I mean, come on, I think you gotta concede on the sheer horrendousness of adblock-free browsing!.. I don't think I can add much to this:. I think it's a pretty important consideration for Tor Browser, which is, after all, known for being slow! Not the browser itself, obviously, but the Tor network itself.
Also, as you perfectly well know, browsing without adblockers is simply a horrible experience! Implement as default "Your Tor Browser is at highest..
Removed and reinstalled previous version v. See, this is what concerns me. I seem to not be able to run Tor v7 on my windows 7 enterprise laptop.
Has anyone else had this problem? I have had to reload earlier versions of Tor V6 in place of the upgraded Tor version. Anyone with similar experience or info about the cause and its solution? OS:- WIN 7. Thanks for the quick response.
Question:- Can't we just remove 'https everywhere' from addons and then reinstall it from mozilla's addons in tor browser itself only? Is doing this allright? Although one thing seems obvious, that this will be a shortlasting solution.
Untill there is a sure fix. Wanted to keep 'noscript' enabled globally If i am making a mistake by acting on the procedure mentioned above, please 'warn' me! Please reply! This may break incremental updating. Since this issue is a browser bug at the core, I don't expect fetching the addon from a different source to give different results, assuming the versions are the same.
Are you kidding me? Experiments on realistic conditions This contains the code we used for our paper, "On Realistically Attacking Tor with Website Fingerprinting. Training update. For testing a training set updating scheme. For split finding, split decision, and pre-splitting. About MB. Takes packet sequences collected in the wild as input, and performs time-based splitting, classification-based splitting, and kNN classification on them. Tor Logging. Implementation of Tor logging for the above.
This is necessary for the file format required by the classifier. Note that the classifier is only allowed to look at time and direction; other information is not available to the website fingerprinting attacker. Just to mirror what everyone else has said about this fantastic Tor browser and the work done keeping it going We do not recommend it.
That said it should work if you really want that. What security slider level are you on did you change it from the default and on what operating system does this happen? Do you get an error or how else do you know it is not working? I'm still new to this and truly trying to understand the benefits and how it works.
I saw something regarding Tor on Viceland and that is what led me here in the first place. I have downloaded the browser and am ready to use but am hoping someone in this thread will help me understand a little further. There is a "What Next? You mean you are using the same obfs4 bridge?
That would be strange but I can imagine that the IP address of a different bridge can't properly be mapped to a country by the ip-country-database used for that and then nothing is added in parentheses.
Well, there is nothing in the code that says this bridge should be shown with and that without country identifier when we are talking about obfs4 bridges. Not the downloadable packaged stand alone torbrowser, nor the installed tor and torbrowser launcher.
The packaged just does not connect and does not give any errors, v6. The installed tor after updating and installing cannot connect with error: cannot reach host ipnumber:port. Disbaling the firewall makes no difference. I forgot to add that using obfs and bridges also made no difference, v7. You downloaded Tor Browser from our website, right?
What output do you get? Looks like client functionality is working. I am not sure yet what is going wrong given that this error report is quite rare and most users won't be affected I guess.
I have downloaded Tor-Browser 7. These ip-addresses don't appear after installing Tor-Browser and I wonder if this is a security shortcoming. These ip-addresses can connect to Tor. I just wanted to say Thank You So Much.
I wish I had money to help out, but the best I can do is offer my computer as a guinea pig and try out the beta version.
Thanks again, and so far everything is working great! And, yes, testing the alpha bundles is pretty valuable to us. The full changelog since Tor Browser 7.
