After ten months of development, a major release of the specialized browser Tor Browser 10.5 has been presented, which continues to build on the functionality based on the ESR branch of Firefox 78. The browser is focused on ensuring anonymity, security, and privacy, with all traffic being redirected solely through the Tor network. It is impossible to connect directly via the standard network connection of the current system, which prevents tracking the real IP address of the user (in the event of a browser hack, attackers may access system network parameters, so to completely block potential leaks, products like Whonix should be utilized). Tor Browser builds are prepared for Linux, Windows, and macOS. <\/p>\n

To provide additional protection, Tor Browser includes the HTTPS Everywhere extension, allowing encryption of traffic on all sites where possible. To mitigate threats from JavaScript-based attacks and to block plugins by default, the NoScript extension is included. To combat traffic blocking and inspection, fteproxy and obfs4proxy are utilized. <\/p>\n

To establish an encrypted communication channel in environments that block any traffic other than HTTP, alternative transports are offered, which allow, for example, bypassing attempts to block Tor in China. To protect against tracking user movement and to avoid exposing characteristics specific to individual visitors, APIs such as WebGL, WebGL2, WebAudio, Social, SpeechSynthesis, Touch, AudioContext, HTMLMediaElement, Mediastream, Canvas, SharedWorker, WebAudio, Permissions, MediaDevices.enumerateDevices, and screen.orientation are disabled or limited, along with telemetry sending tools, Pocket, Reader View, HTTP Alternative-Services, MozTCPSocket, 'link rel=preconnect', and a modified libmdns. <\/p>\n
