The Tor Project today announced the release of Tor Browser 11.0, the latest stable version of its anonymous program browsing web based on Mozilla Firefox and the Tor project.
The specific version develops over a year. But today it has been released and is ready to be used by those who want to protect their privacy by remaining anonymous on the internet.network while surfing the Web.
It is based on the Mozilla Firefox 91 ESR series (Extended Edition supports from the Extended Support Release) and the Tor 0.4.6.8 open source software for the activation of anonymous communications, while featuring a new look borrowed from Firefox 91.
Almost every element of the UI has been updated in this version.
"To ensure that it meets the new experience, every part of the UI in Tor Browser has been updated to match the new look," the developers say.
In addition to the new look, Tor Browser 11 is the first stable version of the anonymous program tours which completely removes onion v2 services. It uses Tor 0.4.6.8 by default, so onion v2 addresses will no longer be accessible.
The new v3 addresses use 56 characters, compared to the 16 characters used in v2 addresses.
Tor Browser 11 is built for GNU / Linux distributions using GCC 10.3.0, and the Linux toolkit has been updated to use the mozilla91 package. Additionally, the RLBox sandboxing API has been temporarily disabled for Linux binary.
