Tor Browser 6.0a1 is released
A new alpha Tor Browser release is available for download in the 6.0a1 distribution directory and on the alpha download page.
This release features important security updates to Firefox.
On the usability front we improved the setup wizard UI flow. We also changed the search bar URL for the DuckDuckGo search engine to its onion URL.
