Tor Browser opsec discovery: The security level slider cannot be relied upon without a full browser restart: https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/05/02/tor-security-slider-flaw/
If you frequently switch between security levels in Tor Browser (or Mullvad Browser!), make sure you are fully restarting the browser every time, otherwise you could still unexpectedly have dangerous JS features enabled!
This requirement is not publicly documented anywhere. Hopefully @torproject will add a prompt to restart after modifying this setting in a future Tor Browser release.
Many people have heard of Tor in the media, but despite its long history of protecting the free internet, most consider it a niche tool and have never ventured to try it themselves.
In reality, Tor is easy to use for anyone. It helps not only journalists and activists, but anybody who seeks greater privacy online or access to information regardless of location.
What is Tor exactly? How can Tor help you? And why is it such an important tool? Staff writer @Em0nM4stodon explains in the latest Privacy Guides article: https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/04/30/in-praise-of-tor/

Mir ist aufgefallen, dass der Netzeingangsknoten (Wächter) beim #TorBrowser oft auf wechselt
Ist es bei Euch auch so?
@alternativeto I use @torproject / #TorBrowser as my #default #browser simply because #Tor is better than any #VPN, is free and secure as well as improving performance on spotty connections like #2G networks!

#Tails 6.14.1 apporte un peu de souplesse à #TorBrowser sur la gestion des fichiers

Nouvelle mouture pour la distribution Linux centrée sur la sécurité et la vie privée. Une version 6.14.1 qui peut surprendre, car la 6.14 n’a pas été publiée. L’équipe de développement s’en explique dans un billet, indiquant qu’un problème important a été découvert à la dernière minute, nécessitant un correctif.
Tails 6.14.1 se distingue surtout par un changement notable dans le navigateur Tor Browser.
