New Release: Tor Browser 10.5a8

Tor Browser 10.5a8 is now available from the Tor Browser Alpha download page and also from our distribution directory.

Note: This is an alpha release, an experimental version for users who want to help us test new features. For everyone else, we recommend downloading the latest stable release instead.

This release updates Firefox to 78.7.0esr for desktop and Firefox for Android to 85.1.0. Additionally, we update Tor to 0.4.5.4-rc.

Note: We are aware that default bridges are not working in recent Tor Browser Alpha versions and Tor Browser does not start, as a result. The issue is now fixed in recent Tor Browser Nightly versions, and it will be available in the coming week.

Note: Tor Browser 10.5 does not support CentOS 6.
