Discover everything Tor Browser 11.5 has to offer, and be sure to update!

🟣 HTTPS-Everywhere has led a long career protecting our users. Now, HTTPS is actually everywhere. Firefox calls this feature HTTPS-Only Mode. Starting in Tor Browser 11.5, HTTPS-Only Mode is enabled by default for desktop, & HTTPS-Everywhere will not be bundled with Tor Browser.

🟣 Plus, we've introduced a new feature called bridge cards. Before Tor Browser 11.5, bridges used to be almost invisible, even when configured. Now, your saved bridges appear in a handy stack of bridge cards—including new options for sharing bridges too.

🟣 We've also redesigned Tor Network settings for users who prefer to configure their connection manually. This includes a brand new name—Connection settings—connection statuses, and streamlined UX for selecting a bridge.

🟣 Connection Assist is a new feature for users burdened by censorship. When Tor is blocked, Connection Assist will offer to automatically apply the bridge configuration we think will work best in your location.

🎉 Big news: Tor Browser 11.5 is here! In this release, we're bringing you automatic censorship detection and circumvention, redesigned Tor Network settings, Firefox's HTTPS-Only Mode enabled by default, and improved font support.

Take a look at what's new in Tor Browser 11.5:

We're excited to share our latest annual report with you!

In the last year, Tor has mobilized against censorship, doubled the number of bridges on the network, & worked hard to make Tor faster.

"Сеть Tor — мощный и простой в использовании инструмент обеспечения анонимности. Благодаря ему правозащитники в странах с репрессивным режимом могут сообщать о нарушениях прав человека."
