The Tor Project announced that the latest version of Tor Browser is now available on both the Tor Browser download page and its distribution directory. This is not only the first stable release based on Firefox ESR 91, but also includes a major update to Tor 0.4.6.8. Earlier this year, Mozilla completely redesigned its browser from the ground up, streamlining its menus, and adding an entirely new tab layout to Firefox. Now, by basing the latest version of its anonymous browser on Firefox ESR 91, the Tor project brings this new design to Tor Browser for the first time. Every element of Tor Browser 11's custom UI has been modernized to match the new look and feel of Firefox and that includes everything from the color, font, and buttons to redesigning each of its icons to match. with the new style. At the same time, the login screen, circuit screen, security levels, and onion site errors have also been changed.
Abandonment of onion services V2
The Tor Project announced last year that V2 onion services would be deprecated by the end of 2021, and since the release of Tor Browser 10.5, it has warned users who visit V2 online sites of their upcoming retirement. That day has finally arrived and since the update to Tor 0.4.5.8, the Onions V2 services are no longer accessible in the Tor Browser, and users instead receive an "Invalid Live Site Address" error. If you get an error when trying to visit a previously working V2 address, then there is nothing wrong with your browser and the problem is with the site itself. To access the site, you can try contacting your administrator and asking them to upgrade to a V3 onion service. Tor Browser users can also easily see whether or not they have old V2 addresses saved in their favorites, as the most secure V3 addresses are 56 characters long compared to the 16 characters used by V2 addresses.
