Version 4.5.2 available.

I needed to connect to an onion site and downloaded the latest version (5.0.2) but Australis makes Tor Browser absolutely terrible and unusable- I do not want to install heaps of add-ons just to restore features the Mozilla idiots removed. I had an earlier version of Tor Browser (3.6.0- before the advent of the abominable Australis) but the perpetual blinking of the Tor button urging for update is unbearable and cannot be disabled. It can be removed from the tool-bar but this way one cannot acquire new identities.

64 bit system: save 181 MB by deleting firefox folder, and renaming firefox64 to firefox. Beta, standard, and ESR work fine.

fullbug on 2015-01-07 18:07

It does seem to be working now, thanx guys....

aazard on 2020-11-05 23:35

I downloaded newest version of Green Browser,

Then:
-removed all languages but English
- removed all skins and replaced with the "smallest" in size; named "metal" (looks good)
- used the portable app "compactor", BRUTE MODE

Its now 787kb and fully functional... its passes more web security & "ability" tests than its only competitor, QTweb, at 7.6mb.

UPDATED TO 12.18!!!11
no changelog yet on off. page

Specular on 2016-02-16 07:31

@billon mmm, it's odd. Just had a pop-up informing of a new version to download which is apparently v12.18 yet no official changelog has been released.

However did find an old My Opera stalwart who posted some of the changes over on the Vivaldi forums. Will continue this discussion on the PF thread...

Checker on 2016-02-26 18:15

Opera@USB v12.18 is available.
