Hi everyone, For those of you who are not following the latest Tor news, we released a new Tor Browser version[1]. In this version, we have modified the connecting to Tor user flow[2], how to select a bridge to bypass censorship, and now Snowflake can be used to bypass censorship[3] in Tor Browser stable (10.5). We've updated Tor Browser user documentation, and you can access it here: - "All about Tor" training pack (EN) - direct link: <https://gitweb.torproject.org/community/training.git/plain/2021/all-about-t…> - More versions are available here[4]: https://community.torproject.org/training/resources/ - Tor Browser User Manual: - Running Tor Browser for the first time: https://tb-manual.torproject.org/running-tor-browser/ - Using Tor Bridges: https://tb-manual.torproject.org/bridges/ - Using Pluggable Transports: https://community.torproject.org/training/resources/ As we know, there is a lot of great educational material written by the Tor community. Please be sure to update your guides. Get in touch if you need help. For feedback about the new Tor Browser UX, get in touch with Tor UX Team: https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ux Or if you want to report bugs: https://support.torproject.org/misc/bug-or-feedback/ all the best, Gus [1] https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-105 [2] https://blog.torproject.org/improving-ux-connecting-to-tor-105 [3] https://blog.torproject.org/snowflake-in-tor-browser-stable [4] We're working now on updating "Todo sobre Tor" (All about Tor, in Spanish) this week. -- The Tor Project Community Team Lead
