Staying ahead of censors in 2025: What we've learned from fighting censorship in Iran and Russia

by meskio and shelikhoo | December 3, 2025

In 2025, Tor faced some of the toughest censorship yet. From Iran’s wartime internet blackouts to Russia’s rapidly evolving blocking tactics. Tor’s anti-censorship team sprung into action and strengthened Snowflake, deployed the new Conjure pluggable transport, and made WebTunnel more wide available. Thanks to real-time monitoring, community feedback, and faster bridge distribution, Tor keeps people connected when it matters most. Want to help? You can support our mission by running a Snowflake proxy or hosting a WebTunnel bridge.

The Future of Tor Browser Alpha

by morgan | December 1, 2025

Starting with Tor Browser 16.0a1, the Tor Browser Alpha release channel will be based on Firefox Rapid Release rather than Firefox Extended Support Release. If you are an at-risk user, concerned about your privacy, or just need a web-browser that works reliably, you should not use Tor Browser Alpha and instead stick with Tor Browser Stable.
