If you, as a Windows user, would like to save data and be anonymous when you are out and about, you will need a few settings and additional programs. In stark contrast to this is the Linux operating system Tails, which became popular as a result of the NSA scandal. It aims to provide users with all the programs and options they need to surf safely and anonymously.
For this to succeed, the Linux live system, which is operated from a USB stick, relies on the Tor network and encrypted communication, for example. But applications for productive work, such as LibreOffice or Thunderbird, are also included. Best of all, to make it easier to get started, all programs are already preset and can be used immediately.
Since release 5 Tails is based on Debian 11 as the new base. The minor update to Tails 5.2 updated Thunderbird to 91.11.0 and Tor Browser to 11.5 and fixed some issues.
