New release: Tor Browser 13.0

The new icon is very ugly, previous one is best, cannot get better than that.

I personally feel that the new one isnā€™t bad to be honest, and your picture seems to have the colors inverted? On my PC and mobile, the white areas in your picture are purple and vice versa.

New icon is fine.
However, it is slightly modified for installer:

Later I figured out that box is depicted here.
But my initial thought was that onion is censored with permanent marker.
Second thought - icon is corrupted and loaded only partially.

Iā€™d say no.
The middle node doesnā€™t know that some traffic leaves to my internal network and thatā€™s the important thing.
Metrics would give this information away but i can disable metrics reporting on my bridge via torrc.

And for my ISP it looks basically the same because in both cases my ISP will know how much incoming traffic i received over Tor that hasnā€™t sent outbound again regardless if itā€™s a Guard connection or the connection of my bridge to the next hop.

I lose the ConnectionPadding protection but thatā€™s not much more than a cosmetic feature and much more important for onion services than for Tor Browser users.

This whole setup can be seen as a testing setup anyway where reliability and reproducibility is more important than anonymity.

That works for me :slightly_smiling_face:

I saw the two tickets you wrote. Thanks!

Another minor thing i found:
In some previous version of Tor Browser the textbox for manually adding a bridge was already marked so you could Ctrl+V right away.
Now you first have to click in the box to be able to paste.

Just as a suggestion could it perhaps be advantageous to set the default launch page as check.torproject.org so people can verify connectivity and security settings through an official Tor Project checker?
