Hey, team! Welcome to the April 2019 user feedback report! For more information on what users and community members were talking about this month, check out the April/May 2019 User Feedback pad [1]. There weren't any updates to the stable Tor Browser Bundle during April, so the blog had fewer comments than in other months. Overall, April was a relatively slow month in terms of feedback. Otherwise... - Users on Reddit began organizing against Reddit's apparent policy of blocking Tor exit relays [2]. - There weren't many user reported bugs in April, but two high priority bugs were mentioned on the 8.5a11 blog post [3] Now, on to the feedback!
