For 11 Months, Tor Let Users Think They Were Safe
The OTHER Tor video cited: https://youtu.be/Ml99dXffRXk
Tor Browser’s security level slider: Standard, Safer, and Safest, doesn't actually activate critical protections unless you restart the browser. The UI pretends you're protected, but under the hood, you're still vulnerable to attacks like JavaScript-based fingerprinting and JIT exploits. This isn’t speculation, it’s a known bug documented in Tor’s own issue tracker for over 11 months. The developers admitted it, then ignored it. No warnings, alerts, disclosures, or social media posts about it.

This video exposes how Tor Browser is misleading users into a false sense of security. For people with real threat models, activists, journalists, whistleblowers, that deception is dangerous.
Instead of fixing the issue or informing users, the Tor Project is considering removing the slider entirely, just like they did with OS spoofing. They’d rather kill features than take responsibility.
If you’ve ever changed your Tor security settings mid-session and assumed you were protected, you weren’t. You’ve been lied to. And this video proves it with evidence, developer quotes, and test results.
Share this video with anyone who uses Tor. Especially those who rely on it for their safety.
