🍎 Tor Browser 12.0 now provides native support for Apple Silicon. We've opted for a Universal Binary too – meaning both x86-64 (for Intel) and ARM64 (for Apple Silicon) builds are bundled together and the correct version chosen automatically.

💬 Tor Browser for desktop is now truly multi-locale, meaning all supported languages are included in a single bundle. You can switch display language without any additional downloads via the Language menu in General settings.

🦊 Tor Browser has been upgraded to Firefox Extended Support Release 102. We've carefully reviewed ESR 102's release notes to ensure each change is adheres to Tor Browser's strict privacy and security principles.

🚀 Tor Browser 12.0 has landed! This release includes an upgrade to Firefox ESR 102, multi-locale bundles for desktop, native support for Apple Silicon, HTTPS by default and redirects to .onion site for Android, plus support for Albanian and Ukranian.

Because Tor is built on donations, we need those who are able to step up and make a monthly donation to ensure Tor is available for everyone, no matter their circumstances:
