Tor Browser 15.0.17 Released With Core Component Updates
This is a maintenance update that refreshes the browser's core privacy and network components.
The Tor Project has released Tor Browser 15.0.17, a maintenance update that refreshes the browser's core privacy and network components.
What's New
- Tor updated to 0.4.9.11: The underlying Tor network daemon has been bumped to the latest stable release, bringing network-level fixes and reliability improvements.
- NoScript updated to 13.6.25: The bundled NoScript extension, which manages script execution for privacy and security, has been refreshed to its latest version.
- Build system maintenance: GPG subkeys and signing keychains used in the release process have been renewed as part of routine security hygiene.
Why It Matters
Tor Browser's strength comes from the tight integration between Firefox ESR, the Tor daemon, and NoScript. Keeping these components current closes known bugs in the anonymity and traffic-routing layer, which is especially important for users relying on the browser in censorship-heavy or high-risk environments.
