If I'm torn about anything for Tor 15, it's that the cadence didn't align with a minimum of Firefox 144 as base.

Why?

View Transitions support being implemented in 144 is a very big deal and pushes the web forward for native transition animations.

In the next two or three versions before the end of 2025, Anchor Positioning will also be a big deal.

So, congrats on Tor 15, but Tor 16 will bring a massive improvement for Tor!

Tor is not the same as Tor Browser. You mean Tor Browser 15 :)

The current version of Tor is 0.4.8.19: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor

Thanks for correcting me!

Pushes forward into deeper misery for the visitors of such websites.

Tor uses the ESR (Extended Support Release) version of Firefox.
