New Release: Tor Browser 14.0[end quoted excerpt]
by duncan | October 22, 2024
Tor Browser 14.0 is now available from the Tor Browser download page >https://www.torproject.org/download/
and our distribution directory. >https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/14.0/
This is our first stable release based on Firefox ESR 128, incorporating >a year's worth of changes shipped upstream in Firefox. As part of this >process we've also completed our annual ESR transition audit, where we >reviewed and addressed over 200 Bugzilla issues for changes in Firefox >that may negatively affect the privacy and security of Tor Browser users. >Our final reports from this audit are now available in the tor-browser-
spec repository on our Gitlab instance.
Firefox's design also continues to evolve, and the ESR transition is our >opportunity to update Tor Browser to reflect the most recent patterns and >styles used in Firefox. For example, eagle-eyed Tor Browser users will >notice updates to Tor Browser's typography that we've inherited from >Firefox, including heavier headings and changes to line heights intended >to improve font compatibility and accessibility.
In addition to the ESR, we overcame many other technical challenges that >you can read more about in Morgan's series of blog posts chronicling the >team's progress with Tor Browser Alpha, including: unifying Tor Browser >for Android's codebase into a monorepo, addressing reproducibility issues
in our Android APK generation, reducing Android's APK size for x86 and >x86_64 platforms, and changes to how we spoof Tor Browser's user agent,
to name a few. This release also includes a series of improvements to the >usability and compatibility of our fingerprinting protections without >compromising their effectiveness, allowing us to enable useful features >like picture-in-picture, screenshots and more.
