Tor Browser 10.5 includes Snowflake #77

Open wkrp opened 3 years ago

wkrp commented 3 years ago

Tor Browser 10.5, scheduled to be released soon, will include the Snowflake pluggable transport. Snowflake has been in the alpha series of Tor Browser for more than a year; this is the first time it will be in the stable series.

[tor-qa] Tor Browser 10.5 is ready for testing https://people.torproject.org/~sysrqb/builds/10.5-build1/

The 10.5 release is now in prerelease testing. See the tor-qa announcement if you'd like to try a release candidate build and perhaps report bugs.

The first-run interface is going to be different in Tor Browser 10.5, but it should be familiar for people configuring circumvention options. Go to Tor Network Settings (about:preferences#tor), select Use a bridge, then Select a built-in bridge: Snowflake.
