Mac users should be rejoicing since 6.0 includes code-signing of OS X and should do away with Gatekeeper issues that make it a challenge to run Tor on a Mac. Tor Browser for Mac minus Gatekeeper problems Some features were disabled if the team didn’t have time to fix the issues or if they decided the features were “potentially harmful in a Tor Browser context.” Tor blocks Flash and some other plugins, but if you want Tor to really work, then you should avoid installing any add-ons or plugins since that can “harm your anonymity and privacy.”Ħ.0 includes “new privacy enhancements,” although those were not specified. The first stable release of Tor Browser 6.0 uses the core Firefox build Firefox 45-ESR (Extended Support Release), meaning better HTML5 support, such as for YouTube. Chrome, too, had planned to block all SHA-1 certificates starting in January 2017, but said it might push up the date to July 1, 2016. Mozilla was shooting for January 1, 2017, as the date to start rejecting all SHA-1 SSL certificates, but said it was considering pushing the cut-off date to as early as July 1, 2016. Microsoft intends to stop considering SHA-1 certificates to be secure for Edge and IE when it rolls out the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, but will not start blocking SHA-1 signed TLS certificates until 2017. Tor Browser 6.0 has disabled support for SHA-1 certificates. After Google banned Disconnect for Android in 2014, Disconnect filed an anti-trust complaint with European regulators and accused Google of abusive conduct. You can still chose Bing or Yahoo if you so desire, but Google hasn't been an option for some time. While Disconnect is still trying to fix the situation we asked them to change the fallback to DuckDuckGo as their search results are strictly better than the ones Bing delivers. Disconnect being more a meta search engine which allows users to choose between different search providers fell back to delivering Bing search results which were basically unacceptable quality-wise.

Disconnect has no access to Google search results anymore which we used in Tor Browser.
