PSA: 🚨 Update Tor Browsers now!

On March 14, 2025, a Mozilla root certificate used for add-ons verification will expire, potentially disabling extensions like NoScript or breaking features such as the Security Slider on Tor Browser versions older than 13.5.11 legacy.

To avoid issues and security risks, update now to 14.0.7 stable or 13.5.13 legacy. https://blog.torproject.org/old-tor-browsers-breakage/

The latest #Arti release introduces memory quota tracking. It allows you to limit how much memory an Arti process uses, especially when hosting an Onion Service. This protects your system from being overwhelmed by malicious or excessive traffic and helps safeguard your anonymity by countering known attacks.
