Tails 5.2.0 comes with several improvements, updated Tor Browser
Tails is a portable operating system that protects against surveillance and censorship. Tails can be installed on any USB stick with a minimum of 8 GB. Tails works on most computers under ten years old. You can start again on the other operating system after shutting Tails.
Tails 5.2.0 update Tor Browser to 13.0.4, Thunderbird to 115.5.0, and stop downloading the AdGuard filter list for uBlock Origin in the session’s language. This prevents some advanced browser fingerprinting.
