Onion links and HTTP response dumps for most of the noteworthy Tor hidden services can be found at https://rnsaffn.com/zg4/ Beware, nothing is censored. It's all there, the drugs, the ransomware, the sex crime, the cryptocurrency scams, but also the good stuff that makes Tor great. If a worthwhile or provocative hidden service is missing from the scan, please submit it yourself.

I've never torrented anything and have been wary that doing anything with the Tor project on my not-so-private computer just sends up a beacon asking me to be investigated. I don't do anything illegal or plan to, but being investigated alone is enough of a deterrent.

I suspect this is paranoia on my part, but I would be curious to hear thoughts from this crowd.

1. If you're threat model is surveillance state, are things like this helpful or harmful? 2. If you need a tool like this, what's the best way to obtain/install this anonymously?

TIL OnionShare Cute.

If I'm torn about anything for Tor 15, it's that the cadence didn't align with a minimum of Firefox 144 as base.

Why?

View Transitions support being implemented in 144 is a very big deal and pushes the web forward for native transition animations.

In the next two or three versions before the end of 2025, Anchor Positioning will also be a big deal.

So, congrats on Tor 15, but Tor 16 will bring a massive improvement for Tor!
