Hi, We have been working on improving the connection to Tor user flow in Tor Browser. In the next week, Tor Browser stable will have a new "Connecting to Tor" experience. You can wait and update your Tor Browser, or if you want to test and report bugs, you can try it first by downloading Tor Browser Alpha: https://www.torproject.org/download/alpha/ Note: Please only download an alpha if you are okay with some things not working properly, want to help us find and report bugs, and are not putting yourself at risk. About Tor Browser 10.5 release This release is the first step in upcoming enhancements around automatic Tor connection, censorship detection, and bridge suggestion. Please, let us know if you are experiencing any bugs or expecting any different behavior based on your use case. If you already have a GitLab account, please feel free to report a bug or suggest a feature. https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/new?iss… If you don't have one, you can reply to this thread or email us directly, and we will file it onto tickets. Or, if you want to file a ticket anonymously, you can do it here https://anonticket.onionize.space/ Thanks for helping us to improve Tor Browser!
