Software update: Tor Browser 9.0.1

Version 9.0.1 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 different Tor routers, leaving the receiver virtually impossible to identify who the original sender was. Within the Tor network, that information is still available, so that answers, of course also via the system of routers, eventually arrive at the right place again. The changelog for this release looks like this:
