Tor Browser Finally Gets Native Support for Apple Silicon [Download]

The Tor Browser has finally been updated with native support for Apple Silicon. The browser automatically starts Tor background processes and routes traffic through the Tor network for enhanced privacy.

Tor Browser 12.0 upgrades to Firefox Extended Support Release 102.

Once again, the time has come to upgrade Tor Browser to Firefox's newest Extended Support Release. We've spent the past few months since Tor Browser 11.5's release reviewing ESR 102's release notes to ensure each change is compatible with Tor Browser. As part of that process, anything that may conflict with Tor Browser's strict privacy and security principles has been carefully disabled.


Among the many updates is native support for Apple Silicon.

This was no small task, but we're happy to say that Tor Browser 12.0 now supports Apple Silicon natively. Like Mozilla's approach for Firefox, we've opted for a Universal Binary too – meaning both x86-64 (i.e. Intel compatible) and ARM64 (i.e. Apple Silicon compatible) builds are bundled together with the correct version chosen automatically when run.

You can download the Tor Browser 12.0 universal binary from the link below. Check out the full changelog here.
