On June 1st, the Tor Project launched their updated Tor Browser 9.5. The update contains a number of usability improvements that make it easier for users to understand and use onion services. Onion services are a tool that website administrators can adopt in order to offer an anonymous, metadata-free location for users to visit. An onion service version of a site protects the user and the administrator from exposure. Onion services are currently used by many prominent publications and websites worldwide. Onion services enables organizations and individuals in repressive countries to securely route around censors to access those websites.
