Hello!
We are happy to announce the first Tor Browser 8.5.1 release candidate for wider testing. Bundles can be found at
https://people.torproject.org/~boklm/builds/8.5.1-build1/
Tor Browser 8.5.1 is the first bugfix release in the 8.5 series and aims at mostly fixing regressions and providing small improvements related to our 8.5 release. Additionally, we disable the WebGL readPixel() fingerprinting vector, realizing, though, that we need a more holistic approach when trying to deal with the fingerprinting potential WebGL comes with.
The full changelog since Tor Browser 8.5 is:
