Tor Browser 13.0 Release is an Exciting Upgrade for Privacy-Focused Users
|
||||
======
|
||||
Step your private web experience with the new Tor Browser update!
|
||||
The Tor Browser is one of the popular ways to access the [Tor network][1], it has been the first choice for many who want to circumvent restrictions placed on them, or even those who are privacy-conscious.
|
||||
|
||||
Of course, using Tor Browser is one of the easiest [ways to improve privacy][2].
|
||||
|
||||
While Tor Browser is based on Mozilla Firefox, it comes with its tweaks.
|
||||
|
||||
With the latest major update, let's see what has changed.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🆕 Tor Browser 13.0: What's New?
|
||||
|
||||
![][3]
|
||||
|
||||
According to the developers, Tor Browser 13.0 is here with a year's worth of changes that were pushed upstream and is based on [**Firefox ESR 115**][4] **.**
|
||||
|
||||
The transition to a newer Firefox release has also **allowed them to take advantage of the revamped accessibility engine** introduced with [Firefox 113][5].
|
||||
|
||||
So, users who use **assistive technologies** such as screen readers can now expect **better performance than ever before** when using Tor Browser.
|
||||
|
||||
The highlights of this release include:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Improved Letterboxing**
|
||||
* **Updated Homepage**
|
||||
* **Refreshed Logos**
|
||||
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Improved Letterboxing
|
||||
|
||||
![][7]
|
||||
|
||||
The letterboxing feature has received an important update with the Tor Browser 13.0 release.
|
||||
|
||||
The devs found **a problem with the default letterboxing dimensions** of 1000×1000 pixels where many modern websites would not behave correctly, resulting in those sites switching to layouts intended for tablets and smartphones.
|
||||
|
||||
Some sites would even serve a desktop site, but with only a horizontal scroll bar. To tackle this issue, they **tweaked the size of the windows** to be a maximum of 1400×900 pixels.
|
||||
|
||||
What this means for you, the end-user, is that you won't need to fiddle with the window sizes manually to get the right fit.
|
||||
|
||||
They also added that:
|
||||
|
||||
> Tor Browser for desktop should no longer trigger responsive break points on larger screens, and the vast majority of our desktop users will see a familiar landscape aspect-ratio more in-keeping with modern browsers.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> This particular size was chosen by crunching the numbers to offer greater real estate for new windows without increasing the number of buckets past the point of their usefulness.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Updated Homepage
|
||||
|
||||
![][9]
|
||||
|
||||
An update to the homepage on the Tor Browser has been a long time coming. With this release, it now showcases a refreshed logo (more on that below) and **a new feature to “Onionize” DuckDuckGo** for accessing its '.onion site'.
|
||||
|
||||
This also **goes hand-in-hand with the revamped accessibility engine** that I mentioned earlier, allowing better support for users of screen readers and other assistive technology.
|
||||
|
||||
They also fixed the dreaded “ **red screen of death** ” error that would pop up once in a while when opening a new homepage tab.
|
||||
|
||||
### Refreshed Logos
|
||||
|
||||
![][10]
|
||||
|
||||
Since the beginning of the article, you may have noticed something different about Tor Browser's logo.
|
||||
|
||||
Well, the **logos for all the builds of Tor Browser have been refreshed** with a more clean and modern look.
|
||||
|
||||
This familiar “onion logo” has been around for a while now, it was chosen by a community poll back in the day. It's nice to see that they are still putting in efforts to improve it.
|
||||
|
||||
These were just the key highlights of the release, you can go through the [official release notes][11] to explore all the technical fixes and other refinements.
