The software sector focused on web browsers continues to grow in both potential and alternatives. For a long time we can say that Tor Browser is the most private proposal and it has just received an important update.
It must be taken into consideration that this is one of the most important web browsers for many, mainly due to its mode of operation. Hence, right now we can enjoy the new Tor Browser 13.5 that the Tor Project has just launched. As it could not be otherwise, it brings several improvements for both the desktop versions and Android-based mobile devices.
Surely many of you already know firsthand that this is an open source program designed for anonymous browsing. All this thanks to the routing of user traffic that it carries out automatically. To achieve this, it uses thousands of servers managed by volunteer users who are known as nodes or relays; This is how the so-called Tor network is formed.
It also provides access to .onion websites, which are only accessible through said network. These domains are commonly used to provide greater privacy and anonymity. It is evident that the browser itself has many built-in anti-tracking protection features and many other security features.
Well, it is worth noting that the new version of Tor Browser 13.5 has just been made available to everyone and we are going to tell you the new features it provides us.
Why should I update to Tor Browser 13.5
The first thing we must keep in mind is that in the new version of the browser, its developers have focused more on usability than on new security and privacy tools. To begin with, we will tell you that in the desktop version that we install on operating systems such as Windows, macOS or Linux, the new Tor Browser integrates better bridge management.
These allow us to access websites where the Tor network is blocked by default. Basically, bridge cards help us manage connections used to bypass censorship. Now it has been redesigned to be easier to use.
At the same time, we will find an improved mailbox system and the error messages will be clearer than to date. Say that the visual design of the interface has been improved to reduce confusion among new users. With all this, we try to make it clearer what is a privacy protection feature, and not an error of the program or the website visited.
On the other hand, we find new settings that allow us to remember the last window size used or adjust the alignment of the mailbox. As for the error messages for .onion sites, they have been simplified to align with other browser-specific network error messages for ease of understanding. From this moment on we already have the possibility of downloading the new Tor Browser 13.5 from your official Web.
