🖥️ What's new on Desktop:
🔹 Vertical tabs: stack your tabs in a sidebar
🔹 Tab groups: organize tabs into collapsible, named & color-coded groups
🔹 Unified search button in the address bar
Perfect for privacy-conscious power users, researchers, and anyone who accumulates tabs frighteningly quickly!

The future of tech is shaped by what we do today. Here are 4 easy actions to build a better digital future!
@mozilla.org @accessnow.org
An image of a person holding a smartphone with overlayed text. Tip 1 from the Tor Project: Privacy tools only make you truly private when we all use them. Image of a person typing on their laptop with overlay text. Tip 2: Be preared–with your own Digital Frist-Aid Kit from Access Now. An image of a storefront with a neon-sign saying "humanity wins". The text overlay includes tip no. 3 from the Cyber Collective: Digital boundaries are human boundaries and encouraging people to ask for consent when encountering people who wear wearable tech. An image of a group of student with handheld devices and the top tip no. 4 from Mozilla Foundation: Your voice can power better AI. Literally. People can donate their voice to open projects like Mozilla's Common Voice to help train speech recognition tools in underrepresented languages.

It helps me stay anonymous on the internet and do research without being followed. I am a left-wing political activist... Currently governments of nearly all states have passed or are planning on new police laws. These laws are against basic human rights and open possibilities of mass-surveillance. Thus, technologies like Tor are essential not only for the people trying to stop these law aggravations but for all of us. I use Tor in my daily political work to stay a bit under the radar of secret agencies and police. An internet without Tor is an internet I wouldn't want to use for many things. Not only that I don't want to share all my personal data with random strange companies, I also don't want to face repression for legitimate human rights political work. Biljana is a pseudonym. This is an anonymous story submitted by a Tor user.

Myth: Privacy is too difficult, so I won't start. Reality: Many apps & services that align more with your values about privacy are easy to use... The only difficult part is making an intentional choice and to work at changing your habits.
