There was a major update to Tor recently Browsers which is defined, on their blog, as a version "milestones” that is, a sort of very important stage.
Tor Browsers and Mullvad Browsers they update to version 13.5
The excellent Mullvad has also been updated accordingly Browsers which, let us remember, is the Browsers private par excellence developed by Mullvad in collaboration with Tor Project.
Since Mullvad Browsers it's basically a sort of Fork of Tor Browsers that does not browse the Tor network, the changes made to Tor Browsers they are also present on Mullvad Browsers.
What changes on desktop
One of the biggest aesthetic impacts in the desktop version concerns the letterboxing. Basically one of the practices used to not be recognized with the Fingerprinting is the use of pre-configured window sizes: if you have ever used either Browsers you probably know what we're talking about.
In fact who uses these Browsers You immediately notice something that's so anti-aesthetic that you think it's a bug: the windows never fill the entire page but a little gray outline always remains. This outline is rounded to the nearest hundred pixels to ensure that you cannot be recognized. In practice your window could be 600px, 700px, 800px but never about "552px” to give an example because otherwise it would be easier to identify you.
However, this means that there must be space "to fill". This space has been improved a bit in this version by adding some new things:
- it has been smoothed out a bit to be more aesthetically pleasing;
- it is now possible to double-click on the gray border to automatically reduce the window to that size and therefore no longer have gray borders;
- it's a new option in the settings and it's called Letterboxing which for now allows two new options:
- you can decide to center the website screen or move it upwards (thus eliminating the gray bar at the top);
- you can reuse the last size you chose when a new window opens.
Bridge improvements
The bridge for accessing the Tor network has been improved. This part, however, only concerns Tor Browsers seeing as Mullvad said Browsers it is not used for browsing the Tor network and these options do not exist.
Always for Tor Browsers The error you receive when trying to access an invalid .onion address has also been improved and simplified.
On Android
Mullvad Browsers it does not exist on Android so these changes also apply only to Tor Browsers. We have improved the initial login experience with an implementation that is being finalized native.
It is also now possible to automatically connect to the Tor network when you open Tor Browsers and fixed an issue with Tor logs being somehow unreachable if a successful connection was established. Now they can be found simply by going to Settings – Connection Settings as it is on desktop.
