New Release: Tor Browser 8.5a12
or Browser 8.5a12 is now available from the Tor Browser Alpha download page and also from our distribution directory.
Note: this is an alpha release, an experimental version for users who want to help us test new features. For everyone else, we recommend downloading the latest stable release instead.
This release fixes the issue which caused NoScript and all other Firefox extensions signed by Mozilla to be disabled.
If you used the workaround mentioned in our previous blog post, don’t forget to set the xpinstall.signatures.required entry in about:config back to true after installing this update.
Plugin problem in #Firefox? type in „about:config“ search for „xpinstall.signatures.required“ set to false, restart and done.
Ok, seems #firefox is working as intended now… BUT *having to* enable studies (I never intended to enable) to get it fixed, the fact add-ons are resolved by a central certificate made it clear #Mozilla has a different view on „privacy first“ than me.
Firefox hat alle Add-ons deaktiviert
Mozilla hat sich für das Problem entschuldigt. Derzeit wird daran gearbeitet es zu beheben. Wann es soweit ist, ist noch nicht bekannt.
Chrome plant, alle Adblocker kaputtzumachen.
Ein Adblocker ist eines der essentiellen Sicherheitsfeatures für alle, die sich im Web bewegen wollen (gleich nach dem Browser-Aktuellhalten). Browser, die das nicht anbieten, oder Drittanbieter sabotieren, sollte man daher meiden.
