Software Update: Tor Browser 10.0.2

Spread the love

Version 10.0.2 of Tor Browser has been released. Tor stands for The Onion Router and is a network that can be used to surf the Internet fairly anonymously. All users’ tcp traffic is routed through various Tor routers, after which it is virtually impossible for the recipient to trace who the original sender was. This information is still present within the Tor network, so that answers, of course also via the system of routers, eventually arrive at the right place. The changelog for this release looks like this:

New Release: Tor Browser 10.0.2

This release updates Firefox to 78.4.0esr and NoScript to 11.1.3. This release includes important security updates to firefox.

Note: Now Javascript on the Safest security level is governed by NoScript again. It was set as false when on Safest in 9.5a9. The javascript.enabled preference was reset to true for everyone using Safest beginning in Tor Browser 10.0 and you must re-set it as false if that is your preference.
