    New features

    • Tor Browser 4.5 now has a security slider that you can use to disable browser features, such as JavaScript, as a trade-off between security and usability. The security slider is set to low by default to provide the same level of security as previous versions and the most usable experience.
      We disabled in Tails the new circuit view of Tor Browser 4.5 for security reasons. You can still use the network map of Vidalia to inspect your circuits.
    • Tails OpenPGP Applet now has a shortcut to the gedit text editor, thanks to Ivan Bliminse.
    • Paperkey lets you print a backup of your OpenPGP secret keys on paper.

    Despite the snazzy slider, I would still recommend disabling JavaScript altogether. I appreciate there are websites which use it but if anonymity is your thing you need to steer clear of them! :)

    By default it seems that the extension Noscript is disabled in the Tor Browser, so you might want to switch this on to be on the safe side.

    ...Not really seeing the advantage of paperkey. I change my gpg key once every six months or so!
