We've introduced new 🧅 onion site icons with our latest browser release (12.5). As onion services are experiencing more popularity and their use by third-party apps has increased, it was time to give them a new identity.💜
The self-updating #TorBrowser broke¹ for me spontaneously. Apparently version 12.5.
This is why I hate auto-updates.. your stuff automatically breaks at spontaneous moments. I also don’t like having no control over how much of my data quota is being used or when.
I really wish I had disabled auto updates. I just now “closed the barn doors after the horses have bolted.”
Tor Browser lets you see the update history, but lacks a mechanism to revert back to a working version when it breaks.
1. It launches but cannot connect to the Tor network, even though the tor daemon works fine and other apps can use the tor daemon.
