Tor Browser 9.0.7 Patches Bug That Could Deanonymize Users
#1
Information 
Quote:The Tor Project released Tor Browser 9.0.7 today with a permanent fix for a bug that allowed JavaScript code to run on the Safest security level in some situations while using the previous Tor Browser version.

Since Tor Browser users are relying on its security features to anonymously browse the Internet, having their identity exposed by a JavaScript that could be used for fingerprinting or unveiling their true location defeated the browser's private browsing promise without tracking, surveillance, or censorship.
 
After updating to the latest version, all JavaScript code is again disabled automatically on non-HTTPS sites while browsing the web with the Tor Browser on the Safest security level.
