🚨 Tor Browser opsec discovery: The security level slider cannot be relied upon without a full browser restart: privacyguides.org/articles/202…

If you frequently switch between security levels in Tor Browser (or Mullvad Browser!), make sure you are fully restarting the browser every time, otherwise you could still unexpectedly have dangerous JS features enabled!

This requirement is not publicly documented anywhere. Hopefully @torproject will add a prompt to restart after modifying this setting in a future Tor Browser release.

PSA: The security level slider in Tor Browser (and Mullvad Browser) does not fully apply until restarting the browser.

There is a growing number of people who no longer feel safe in their own home or country. Whatever the reason, many people might not feel safe to browse certain topics online 🌐

If you're in this situation, the Tails live operating system from @torproject can help. Tails protects against censorship and surveillance, and it lets you use a computer without leaving any trace of your browsing history afterward.
