Volunteers who run bridges will be rewarded!

- Run 10 bridges = 1 Tor hoodie + 2 Tor T-shirts + sticker pack.

- Run 5 bridges = 1 Tor T-shirt + sticker pack.

+ We'll randomly select 10 new bridge operators to receive a Tor shirt.

Read the rules here: https://blog.torproject.org/run-a-bridge-campaign/

Since mid-2021, we've seen the number of obs4 bridges decreasing & a subsequent overload of existing bridges.

Bridges are relatively easy / low bandwidth to operate, but they have a big impact. By running a Tor bridge, you help people bypass censorship.

Today, the Tor Project is launching a new campaign to help censored users, and we need you. 🙌

How? Run a Tor Bridge! 🌉

Our goal is to add 200 new obs4 bridges to the network from November 18 - January 7, 2022, & we're offering prizes for running a bridge.

@MacLemon Hi, it seems a known issue: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/40690

Please also check the other know issues:
https://forum.torproject.net/t/new-release-tor-browser-11-0/504#known-issues-2

Arti version 0.0.1 is out and we need your feedback! This version is not yet ready for production, but it implements all the basic features that we think are essential for privacy, and it is ready to be used in any Rust application.

@Xantulon it's a know issue: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/40671
Tor Browser developers are working to fix it.

@Steve12L it's a known issue and Tor Browser Devs are working on it: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/40671

@inference we don't have a plan to port Tor Browser to Chromium or rewrite Tor Browser. This (old) wiki page is still a good resource: https://gitlab.torproject.org/legacy/trac/-/wikis/doc/ImportantGoogleChromeBugs

@stux
It's a feature, not a bug! It's called letterboxing:

@stux 💜

@stux Hi, it's a known issue.
Relaunching the app one or multiple times will fix it. https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/40679

@arh the auto update seems to be now rolling out. 🙌

Add some sparkle on your laptop. ✨

Become a monthly donor, of any amount, to @torproject before the end of the year and you'll receive this exclusive holographic 'privacy is a human right' sticker.

🧅 Join the discussion

Last week we announced a new discussion and user support platform: the Tor Forum. Starting today, we’re going to be doing things a little bit differently – rather than commenting on the blog posts themselves, we’d like to invite you to create an account and join in the discussion on the forum instead:

https://forum.torproject.net/t/new-release-tor-browser-11-0/504

Final deprecation of v2 onion services: Last year we announced that v2 onion services would be deprecated in late 2021. That day has finally come, and v2 onion services are no longer reachable in Tor Browser 11.0. Users will receive an “Invalid Onion Site Address” error instead.

Read the full changelog here: https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-11-0

Modernized custom UI: To ensure Tor Browser lives up to the new experience, each piece of custom UI has been modernized to match Firefox’s new look and feel. That includes everything from updating the fundamentals like color, typography and buttons to redrawing each of our icons.
