Download Tor Browser 12.5.6

Versions 12.5.5 and 12.5.6 of Tor Browser were released in quick succession. Tor stands for The Onion Router and is a network that can be used to surf the Internet fairly anonymously. All users' TCP traffic is routed through different Tor routers, after which it is virtually impossible for the recipient to find out who the original sender was. That information is still present within the Tor network, so that answers, of course also via the system of routers, ultimately arrive at the right place. The release notes since version 12.5.4 look like this:
