New Release: Tor Browser 8.0.9

> the dependency on Google finances that The TOR Project has grown accustomed to,

I share your concern but...

> only seals the privacy fate of the TOR user.

I think you are too pessimistic. The solution is to move Tor Project toward a funding model which relies principally on user donations, similar to EFF, rather than corporate/govt largesse.

Please consider making regular donations as I and others here do.

> It seems to me that TOR is totally compromised and there is really no way to escape prying eyes.

Too pessimistic. Enemies such as NSA have frightful powers to harm people, but they have problems of their own. Exploits are often frangible (fail when a new version is introduced, even if the devs never knew about the hole), they are drowning in information (much of it duplicated in hard to notice ways), their systems tend to be in a state of near chaos, their own opsec is poor, and their very size and complexity ensures that they suffer from some systemic weaknesses which we can exploit to prevent them from getting too far ahead in the arms race.

Further, we have many enemies, but most of them are far less capable and far more focused on particular populations than NSA.

i got a leakage W32 file in this update which was detected by my antivirus. maybe take a look at that Tor?
what it said exactly :
W32/Malware

but coming from Tor i am also suspecting it to be a false posetive ?
if not. i suspect you work hard on fixing it ASAP.
thanks.
