Tails staat voor The amnesic incognito live system en is een live Linux-distributie die zich richt op privacy en anonimiteit. Als basis maakt het gebruik van Debian GNU/Linux en het voegt daar een Gnome-omgeving met Tor, Tor Browser, Pidgin, Thunderbird, Electrum, LibreOffice, GPG en KeePassXC aan toe. Voor meer informatie verwijzen we naar deze pagina. Versie 5 is op Debian 11 gebaseerd en onder meer OpenPGP is vervangen door Kleopatra. In versie 5.7 zijn verder nog de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen aangebracht:
Metadata CleanerWe added Metadata Cleaner, a new tool to clean metadata from your files. When we switched to MAT 0.8.0 in Tails 4.0, MAT lost its graphical interface and was only accessible from the contextual menu of the Files browser. It became especially hard for new users of Tails to learn how to clean their files. Metadata Cleaner fixes this by providing a simple and easily discoverable graphic interface to remove metadata. Metadata Cleaner works on the same file formats and is as secure as MAT because Metadata Cleaner also uses MAT in the background to do the actual cleaning.

Known issue: Progress bar of Tor Connection getting stuck around 50%When using a custom Tor
obfs4bridge, the progress bar of Tor Connection sometimes gets stuck halfway through and becomes extremelly slow. (#19173) To fix this, you can either:
- Close and reopen Tor Connection to speed up the initial connection.
- Try a different
obfs4bridge.We believe that this issue should not happen with an up-to-date bridge running
obfs4proxyversion 0.0.12 or later.
