Noticed a warning when installing Tor Browser for Windows? ⚠️ Our installer’s signing certificate expired. While we renew it, our website will serve version
15.0.20 for Windows users. After installation and on first run, the browser will download the latest version and install it on next launch. This avoids the expired certificate warning. Read about the new release and this temporary change: https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-15024/

blog.torproject.orgNew Release: Tor Browser 15.0.24 | Tor ProjectTor Browser 15.0.24 is now available from the Tor Browser download page and also from our distribution directory.
