Tor 7.0 finds ESR 52.1.2 as its base and leverages the Firefox’s performance and security improvement features like multiprocess mode and content sandbox. The development team says that sandboxing is enabled by default for Linux and MacOS variants of Tor 7.0 while they haven’t finished adding the same for Windows machines.
As with ESR 52, Windows machines which doesn’t support SSE2 (Streaming SIMD Extensions 2) won’t be able to run Tor 7.0, And for macOS, the machine should be running macOS 10.9 or above to support Tor’s latest version.
Tor 7.0 also brings a number of changes to prevent tracking and fingerprinting while the user is connected to the Tor network. To enhance tracking related defenses cookies, view-source and the Permissions API are now isolated to the first party URL bar domain. For fingerprinting defenses, the team has disabled and fixed various new feature like WebGL2, WebAudio, Social, SpeechSynthesis, Touch APIs, and the MediaError.message property.
In addition to various bug fixes for Tor 7.0, the development team has also updated different add-ons and features: HTTPS-Everywhere (5.2.17), NoScript (5.0.5), Tor stable version (0.3.0.7), TorButton (1.9.7.3), Tor Launcher (0.0.12.2).
