Last Notes npub1y8av7a5337erepxphjf50c9p4w5ghu6zu56fjqklpw0n06d7wvgqwh5cy0 The Tor Project 🔔 Tor Browser 16.0a9 Alpha is here! https://blog.torproject.org/new-alpha-release-tor-browser-160a9/ If you enjoy testing new builds and helping us catch bugs before stable, we'd love your help: https://community.torproject.org/user-research/become-tester/ ⚠️ Alpha is for testing only. A couple more highlights: 📱 We shrank the Android APK by ~3 MB with a new compression approach to stay under Google Play's size limits. 📉 Tor Browser Android is also down to just one remaining telemetry library (still disabled by default), with plans to remove even that in the future. npub1y8av7a5337erepxphjf50c9p4w5ghu6zu56fjqklpw0n06d7wvgqwh5cy0 The Tor Project We've been working on a new way to fund internet freedom.
