New Release: Tor Browser 14.0   
by duncan | October 22, 2024  
Tor Browser 14.0 is now available from the Tor Browser download page   
https://www.torproject.org/download/  
and our distribution directory.   
https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/14.0/ 
This is our first stable release based on Firefox ESR 128, incorporating     
a year's worth of changes shipped upstream in Firefox. As part of this  
process we've also completed our annual ESR transition audit, where we 
reviewed and addressed over 200 Bugzilla issues for changes in Firefox   
that may negatively affect the privacy and security of Tor Browser users. 
Our final reports from this audit are now available in the tor-browser-
spec repository on our Gitlab instance.     
Firefox's design also continues to evolve, and the ESR transition is our  
opportunity to update Tor Browser to reflect the most recent patterns and
styles used in Firefox. For example, eagle-eyed Tor Browser users will   
notice updates to Tor Browser's typography that we've inherited from    
Firefox, including heavier headings and changes to line heights intended  
to improve font compatibility and accessibility.  
In addition to the ESR, we overcame many other technical challenges that  
you can read more about in Morgan's series of blog posts chronicling the
team's progress with Tor Browser Alpha, including: unifying Tor Browser   
for Android's codebase into a monorepo, addressing reproducibility issues
in our Android APK generation, reducing Android's APK size for x86 and  
x86_64 platforms, and changes to how we spoof Tor Browser's user agent,
to name a few. This release also includes a series of improvements to the   
usability and compatibility of our fingerprinting protections without  
compromising their effectiveness, allowing us to enable useful features  
like picture-in-picture, screenshots and more.
